Newly diagnosed and now feel more lost!

Hi all, 

Not sure if this is the right place to post, the psychiatrist recommended I join here. I am 34 and newly diagnosed with Autism level 1 (new being lunchtime today!) I am sat at work and cannot focus, I felt this would give me some clarify and some relief, but feeling more lost than I was trying to find answers. 

I keep getting a feeling that, maybe they got it wrong and I don't really have it, it fits, in so many ways it explains a lot but cannot help my brain telling me that maybe I answered wrong and got the diagnosis, even though I just answered truthfully. 

But my question is, what happens after? they have diagnosed me and will write a report and that is it, so although I now have an answer as to why I feel and think in a certain way, but no way to help myself lol

anyone felt the same after diagnosis? I mask a lot and it is exhausting, I just want to be able to be myself and I don't know how 

thank you for reading! :)
