Hi

MrsP

Hi,

I’ve been recently diagnosed with having both ADHD and autism. I’m 48 and had no idea. I just thought I was weird and over sensitive. 
 
I’m not really sure yet what to do with the information. I feel sad, relieved, embarrassed, bemused and like a fraud, cycling and constantly shifting in a random order. 

So, what is next? Who needs to know? Does anyone need to? 

Thanks,

S

  • Welcome! 

    I haven't really told people, just two of my siblings, though my parents know my son was diagnosed. 

    It's personal choice if you want to tell people or not, and no rush, you can take your time deciding who you want to talk to about it. 

    Some good advice from   and  , and it helps to read some more experiences like those on the pages  linked to about how to prepare for different reactions. 

    Best of luck.
