Saddness after diagnosis

Ma.ra.

Dear All,

I wish for your support. I am a late diagnosed women,42, and yesterday I went to therapy and told everything I’ve learnt about autism/my autism very proudly and my therapist was very happy but also said I am going to deal with this during my whole life. I got shocked. I thought we figure out the neurotypical world and our autism and build some switch modes when we need. I thought it is like a Master degree and then you are good to go. But as the way I understood my therapist, it is gonna be a long thingy. Would you be so kind to write me positive things cause I got very very sad. Disappointed My friendships are very new and I don t wanna overwhelm them and also I tried to start to explain my wiring but they somehow invalidate this and the struggle and the sadness and it is not helping me. Thanks so much even for like an emoji now!

  • Hi  , I hope you are feeling a bit better today. It can be a lonely thing when you are feeling so isolated - I skimmed the posts and saw your are from Hungary and that support is hard to get. I'm glad you found this community, the company I work for is in Sophia, so I'm quite used to speaking to people from around the world, though ashamedly I don't have fluency in other languages. I think it's marvellous that so many people are so good at English like you, as it means I still get to speak to people from other countries!

    Hey  ! I feel a bit better today! Still confused and sad but in a calmer way! I’ve rested a lot and I was reading all the supportive letters here. It does make a difference! Such a joyful thing to say that now you can speak to people from other countries!
