Sinouy,
We don't know anything about you, when you were diagnosed and how old etc so we may be wandering off topic?
I was diagnosed at 56 and realise that I have been this way all my life but mostly I thought I was normal. I kept hitting confrontations and ended up with serious problems at work. Now, with a diagnosis I am beginning to understand myself and life is getting easier. I suspect that Longman's experience may reflect experience and understanding and learning to make some adjustments?
I don't think you can turn back the clock but you don't have to tell anyone/everyone about your diagnosis. I think there is a tendency among us to tell too many people as we don't really get the value of privacy or understand the dangers of being open. You can make a fresh start by taking a new job or moving to a new area - I've just moved jobs and so far I am glad that I have. However, I've started the new job by disclosing my condition - my boss is being good about it but I shall have to see how it goes. I haven't told many of my colleagues but I guess I may do in time.
