Diagnosed yesterday

Claudias

Hello I’m Claudia. 

Im 32 and had my assessment yesterday with psychiatry UK and was diagnosed. 
I’m not entirely sure what I’m feeling at the moment, I’m struggling to talk about it with friends and family. I don’t know anyone that is autistic or has gone through this so if anyone has any advice I would be grateful. 

Thank you 

Parents

  • Hello.

    What you are feeling is the identity shock. It is normal. It will take time to adjust.

    Ultimately, it is a personal journey while you become comfortable in your own skin again and confident about who you are and what you think.

    You have to reframe your past and know who you are. It is a weird sensation.
