I'm 51 and was diagnosed with level 2 ASD in February (although I've suspected I had Aspergers for years). I don't normally use social media channels, but as the only post-diagnosis support the NHS offered me was a link to this website... here I am. Has anyone else found that rather than their diagnosis providing clarity and understanding of why they're like they are (as my GP suggested), they instead feel much worse than before? Mainly I feel anger - that none of the mental health professionals who saw me in my teens did their job properly. If I'd been correctly diagnosed then (rather than with clinical depression and anxiety), how different might my life have been? Anyway, hello everyone (sorry, should have said that first), hopefully at least I'll encounter some people who understand what it's like here.
