Hello, Im mia. I l love cats, Disney, and crafting (particularly embroidery) at the moment. I was diagnosed with autism late last year. Although I already self identified, I feel the diagnosis has caused significant challenges in accepting myself. Im hoping that connecting with others may help me feel less alone in this journey.
Hi Mia, I'm Dave. I was diagnosed at the end of Jan, so still trying to get my head around it all. I actually only started to consider the possibility seriously in December last year, so this has all happened pretty quickly for me - I always just thought I was weird 
It can certainly be disconcerting - I'm struggling at the mo to get a feel for how I mask etc. Is there any particular reason the diagnosis has caused challenges over when you were self-diagnosed?
