Discovering I may be autistic!

courtneym_t

Hi, so I’m 33 female and I’ve always seemed to struggle with depression and anxiety and what seems like day to day life! Always back and forth through the same struggles. I’ve been speaking to a new Gp and practice psychologist and they’ve both said they believe I’m autistic which has some what taken me back. The GP is referring me for diagnosis and I’m wondering if a diagnosis at this point is going to help? I’m stuck in a back and forth state of not knowing what to do. Has anyone else found that just knowing has helped them?

  • That’s very forward of them to suggest you may be autistic. I went to a psychologist about 15 years ago and specifically asked to find out what was wrong with me but they said they could not define anything for me. This was long before I even had autism on my mind. Perhaps they are more forthcoming nowadays?
