Well, I’ve just joined the cool kids, having being formally diagnosed this week. - Not that anyone was surprised. I think I aced the test.
The psych asked at the end how I felt about the diagnosis, and honestly I don’t know. I’m not sure I feel anything, maybe it’s because I’ve strongly suspected for many years. - is this normal?
So now what? Not sure if I should tell work, there seem to be pros and cons to it. Being technical my work is already pretty accommodating. Family already knew, and socially there isn’t a problem, as I don’t do social.
It all seems a bit anticlimactic, but at least I I’ll have a letter that says I’m not neuroboring.
I’m officially undiagnosed but I was intimately involved in my son’s diagnosis, which showed me that I too was without a doubt on the spectrum.
I’ve always been the black sheep of the family due to ‘quirks’ so no surprises there.
