I got the diagnosis - now what???

Kool_kat

So I got told today i fit the profile and I am autistic (and possibly ADHD). Im not shocked and expected it but still so odd hearing someone say it. 

Ive spent all afternoon wondering if I somehow tricked her and its a mistake. 

I also dont understand how I didnt see it earlier (ive had training on ASD as part of my job).

What do I do now? Im not ready to tell anyone yet. The woman said she'd report to my GP giving recommendations for support and that i should make an appointment. 

Am I supposed to somehow unmask? How do I even do that?

  • The now what is so hard to get your head around.  Should one now try to allow themself to be happy and find ways that allow that even if that turns everything upside down, or is your world all about fitting in, experiencing misunderstandings, and accepting that others see what you dont see etc
