New diagnosis

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!
