I think I understand how you feel, a lifetime of feeling less and different but just not knowing why. I was just given a pamphlet after my diagnosis, I’ve looked locally for support groups, I start to read into them and they then mention support for the autistic person and their parents, oh another child based group.
I’m okay with levels not being given after a diagnosis, it seems my needs can be different from day to day. I and many here have been told by GP,s that we were depressed and given medication, I found none of it made me feel better. Friends are better in quality not quantity, I do find I need longer periods alone.
Welcome and I hope you stick around, I’ve found this group to be the only place where I feel understood and not alone.
