Still feels surreal

Sometimes being diagnosed with Asperger's is hard to grasp. I have quick bouts of denial in which I tell myself I don't have it, that I was normal before. I know this is not true and it is my brain responding to the sudden change. Before the diagnosis I never would have imagined that being diagnosed as an Aspie would feel so good. I have quick stints of anxiety that I will end up back at square one with no one who understands me. Anyways, as much as I love the euphoric feeling associated with the recent diagnosis, I am ready for my brain to slow down and start getting use to the new me. It is exhausting lol.
