Am new to diagnosis of asd

[Cocoacupid]

I have had a very difficult time figuring out who I am being given wrong diagnosis over the years and now finally finding out I’m on the spectrum gives me a lot of clarity. Just want to know really how other ppl felt when they were first diagnosed and how it helped you in your adult life really . I’m a 38 year old female.

Similar story to mine, so I feel you. Diagnosed a few years ago with ADHD and then this year with autism, at age 34. With so little local support, you end up feeling on your own and not sure what to do next. I've found that getting into the online social community can be nice, but there's also a lot of drama sometimes, which can be tiring. I guess the whole thing is tiring really. But I'm very glad to have the diagnosis - it helps to look back and know things happened for a reason, and you weren't to blame or broken. I hope you're finding ways to learn more about yourself and be kinder to yourself because of it.
