Hey all! Newly diagnosed

Hey everyone Wave  

I'm new to these forums and wanted to introduce myself. 

I was diagnosed as autistic a few weeks ago, after a long time of researching and trying to decide. Plus a few years on the waiting list... 

I also have ADHD. With both, it has been an interesting experience being diagnosed as an adult, to say the least. 

I guess I'm figuring myself out now, and so thought these forums would be a good place to connect with others. 

How are you? For those of you diagnosed as adults, did you find these forums useful post-diagnosis?

    That's very true, everyone is their own person and has unique experiences. My initial response to the diagnosis was pretty neutral to be fair. Like yep, no surprises. I thought I'd have been more emotional about it, as I know others have shared that being their experience.

    Thank you for the link- I'll check it out!
