Hi, I have just found out that I have had a diagnosis of ASD. It was diagnosed a year ago, but nobody told me until now. I feel very numb and shocked-although I wanted the diagnosis. Social settings are too complex. My son has ASD also. I 45 years old. Don't know were to go from here. Can anyone advice please?
Hi Arron.
You're not an idiot at all, far from it. The Consultant said 'wait' so you did. That's normal behaviour, for us - we tend to take things literaly.
Your doctor must have been taken by surprise to find that you hadn't had a copy of the report, it's usual for them to send one direct to you. What a ***-up!
