Hallo.I'm Elisabeth,36 years old.
Recently I was diagnosed with Asperger's, after about 19 years of having been initially diagnosed with anxiety disorder , Adhd and depression.
For the time being this is new to me and I'm trying to find more information about this and I understand knowing better the mechanism of "how I'm wired" can lead to improved quality of life.
Indeed,it is the very first time I can explain pretty much countless differences I always had with the rest of the people around me and how I see the world.
My question is,who do I share this diagnosis with ?
My parents ? Close friends ? I understand this could help me.
I would be reluctant with my parents because it is genetic and I do not want them to blame themselves for anything.
They know me well and all about my behaviour and they were always very understanding and supportive but this might hurt them and I'd have to see some real benefit for all parties involved before I would share this.
I would appreciate anything anyone would have to say.Thank you.
