Recently diagnosed at 57

So, I really don`t know how I`m feeling about my diagnosis.

I`ve always felt `different` from an early age.

* Enjoying my own company

* Anxiety

* poor sleep

* My head always feeling busy

* Avoiding eye contact

* Making excuses not to go to social events/adapting my behaviours

* Heightened sensitivity to sounds, smells, light

* Strong sense of justice

etc, etc

I decided to get a diagnosis to understand myself when I received it I cried, relief I guess but now I feel like I am riding a rollercoaster of emotions and I can`t get off switching from `I knew I was different`, `oh goodness I`m autistic!!!

Is this `normal?` Best way of getting support???
