Hi I have just been diagnosed at 19 with autism and I have never felt such relief but I feel the reactions I have got from other people have confused me. My parents seemed to just say ‘oh okay’ and that was it no real conversation and then my mom spoke about how oh she could be autistic and so and so could be autistic which just felt quite invalidating. I felt so much relief finding out and felt very open about it but now I feel stupid. Has anyone got any advice or tips for post diagnosis thank you.
I'e recently been diagnosed at 16 and despite already having been diagnosed with drysrpaxia and dyslexia at 5, it made is much sense and rly validadted my feelings/thoughts.
