I’m in my early 30’s and was diagnosed with autism last week following a diagnosis of ADHD several weeks before.
If I’m honest I expected ADHD but autism not so much, I wouldn’t say I am very different from ordinary but I have struggled since a child with fitting in with people and keeping conversations going. My wife who has a lot of experience run the area isn’t surprised but I’m not sure how to take it.
I’ve also informed my work but I’m not sure what to do with this information they ask me if there’s anything I need but being put on the spot like that is just difficult and I don’t really know what to say. I have gradually struggled as I’ve got older with certain things, concentration, patience, anxiety, social situations. I let small things completely change my mood - just people not responding to a text or being blunt completely puts me in a spiral.
I’m not really sure what I’m asking, I’m just struggling.
