Hello,
I'm 30yrs old and I'm pretty sure I've been on the spectrum since I was 18 when I first found out about it (I'm dyslexic and eye contact made my eyes water uncontrollably among other things). The problem is I'm not sure if being diagnosed is worth it? I've grown accustom to my masking and I'm generally uncomfortable but I don't understand what the benefits of being diagnosed would bring to me? I'm also worried about people finding out I'm REALLY different instead of just being odd. I'm not sure if this diagnosis would reflect poorly on me or make my life difficult?
What as this been like for you?
