I was talking to somebody close to me today that said that since going through a pre-assessment and realising that I was probably on the spectrum that I had "become visibly more vunerable". It was a useful conversation because I am pursuing this primarly to try and help mitigate some of the issues that I am facing. But maybe in the short term I have realised that maybe I cannot change some of these aspects in my personality and in turn it has caused me to withdraw a little. I think they were coming from a good place, they don't want me to stop pushing forwards. After all, nothing has really changed. Has anybody else experienced something similar? How did you navigate the realisation that you had significant traits and balance acceptance with perserverance?
