Newly diagnosed

Hi I was told two days ago that I am on the autistic spectrum. Friday night my head just felt like I was in a drunk state.but because I have a problem identifying my feelings im not sure how I'm currently feeling but also how I'm meant to be feeling.:'( 

  • Welcome to the community!

    It is a big shock to actually get the diagnosis and the period afterwards can be challenging as you work out what it means and what you can do about it. The concensus of nearly all of us with a diagnosis is that it does make things better and most of us are glad to know how we are different to other people.

    Lots of others on the forum are going through the same thing so have a look at other posts and see what makes sense to you.
