I'm not really sure what to write if I'm honest...
So I had an assessment via Right to Choose on Tuesday and the psychiatrist gave me a diagnosis of 'ASD'. It explains so much of why I've always felt like an outcast (sometimes even amongst the other 'outcasts') but my overwhelming feeling is of anger - why it wasn't picked up when I was younger and why I had to struggle so much through High School and the horrendous bullying I've gone through in work places. I'm already in therapy for neurodivergent people or those suspected to be neurodivergent which has helped somewhat but I still can't shake the anger side of things.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Congratulations on your diagnosis. I think anger is a common response. it's hard to process just how much of our lives could have been so different if only we'd know, just how much pain we could have been spared.
Absolutely. I think it's going to take a good while for me to process it all, but I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling angry.
