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

  • Good morning from America, Claudia!

    Congratulations on your diagnosis! Take your time telling your friends and family, especially if they are unfamiliar with Autism. You don’t have to tell them right away; Tell them when you’re ready to. I think I took a few months before I told my parents, for example.

    I can understand wanting to tell people, because it is something really important to you, though.
