Newly Diagnosed.

Hello, this is my first time posting.

I had my assessment on Wednesday and have been diagnosed with Autism, Level 1. 

I feel relieved and at the same time overwhelmed to get the diagnosis at 54.

My brother, who's son(my nephew) is autistic is being supportive as is a friend with autism. 

My closest friend was very dismissive when I told her, saying "then you're slightly autistic" & "that alot of people are."

Just wanting to connect with people who understand.
