I am new here!

Hello!

I am new to this forum. I was diagnosed 2 days ago with Asperger's, which is High functioning Autism at Level 1. I'm not sure which is the correct term but that is what the psychiatrist said. So I've put down Asperger's although it is all apparently under one umbrella - Autism.

I am a 36 year old female and now it all makes sense.

I'm still trying to get my head around it lol. I kind of cried when she was telling me because it felt like the pieces fit.

You got this!


Keep in mind that you are still the same person, now armed with knowledge that will explain some of your past and hopefully offer you a better future.

It works. Use that term and I immediately know what you are talking about. Nothing more can be asked of language.

Isn't it amazing when suddenly everything that was confusing suddenly clicks into place? Or a grainy, blurry picture suddenly gains focus? The value of a diagnosis lies in explaining the past and predicting how it might impact the future. Understanding is a wonderful thing and it needs to come before adaptation.

Welcome! It took me a little while of wondering and lurking before I joined, so I tip my hat to you joining just two days after getting the confirmation!
