Hi
Erm this is quite hard for me to do and put my voice out there but I decided I think this is what I need to do. I'm 35 years and a week ago I was refered for autism diagnosis. Since then alot of things have been making sense but I have also been going through alot of memories of things that never have before and very sensory such as physical feeling and smell. I'm having trouble in a way of accepting my autism not because I'm scared of it but because it's new and it's real and I think iv been Masking for many many years. Iv never really known who I am and always felt something is missing and suffer with depression and anxiety since teens. Iv been spending time trying to work out what I really like but when i do I find it very overwhelming like I know I like it but it's hard to except or deal with it.
I just want to ask if anyone can offer any advice or life experience that they think would be good to know because I feel quite alone right now even though I know I'm not I'm just trying to make sense of it all
