Newley diagnosed and what’s next?

Bookworm18

Hello everyone, im bookworm18 and I love books. Today has been quite a day, I had my telephone call after the assessments last month and I have autism. I’m in my late 20s and honestly it feels so liberating but sad that after all this time I was the way I am but was seen as a problem. I’m south Asian so I don’t really have people I can basically just talk about this. But now I’m like what’s next, I found this community by researching and will take one day at a time to learn more about myself again. Just wanted to say hi all and I’m glad this community exists.

  • Hello.

    Your emotions will be up and down for a while, so you'd be right to take it slowly, but I'm pleased you feel liberated.

    It is strange when you are told. You are not quite sure till they say.

    Nothing wrong with books. All the world's knowledge and imagination at your finger tips. Food for the brain.
