Introduction, newly diagnosed

Larissa

Hello, I've recently been diagnosed with autism. I'm not sure what to expect on here, but I thought I'd give it a go! I've always felt like something was different, and now I know what it is I'm glad, but I'm not really sure where to go from here. I have a lot of questions and I'd just like to talk to other people as I don't know anyone with autism and It'd be interesting to learn more and see if my struggles relate to anyone else as I have always felt like bit of an outsider.

  • Welcome,  and thanks for your post. I am also recently diagnosed and I appreciate your enthusiasm for finding out more about this newly confirmed aspect of your identity. You will find lots of insight and solidarity here. Hopefully you will also be heartened by learning about strengths which autism can bring. Most of all, be good to yourself and enjoy the journey.
