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
Yes mine was 50-55 mins and when the Dr told me at the end, I was kind of speechless. I think it needs to sink in still. He told me not to think of it as a label but use my strengths in research to understand myself better. I’m currently reading a book I got from the library called ‘Rediscovered: a compassionate and courageous guide for late discovered autistic women and their allies’ and it’s been really helpful so far.
