It's been a rough year for me so far, I don't want to get into the weeds of it, but I've just been diagnosed with autism today. Honestly I'm still processing it, it literally re-contextualises my entire life experience. I know going forward this new understanding I have of myself will be a benefit. Its just all a bit overwhelming for me in this moment. I know there are a lot of autistic people who've found a home on NG and if anyone has any pointers or resources they use to help them navigate their experience, I'd be very grateful for any information.
So yeah, I'm autistic and probably ADHD too. I've still got to go through all the diagnoses for that though, so hopefully that'll be quicker because my autism diagnoses took 4 and a half months... but god knows. Anyway like I say, if anyone has any insights I'd greatly appreciate it.
Much love,
Bo
