  • Hi Anna, welcome to the group. sorry to hear your mental health has gone downhill since your diagnoises

    I think this is fairly normal. When I found out I had autism my mental health got worse, i think it is partly from the shock of finding out this about yourself but mainly I think it is cos we are surpressing it less. I dont know if that makes sense

    What I mean is that all the anxiety and mental health stuff we surpress before we find out, once we know we are autistic we dont have to surpress it anymore and we accept it

    The good thing is once you get used to your autism it does get a little bit better cos you understand why you feel things
