Officially got my autism diagnosis this morning
I'm 29 years old, for the last 15 years I've been told I'm bipolar. I kinda knew I was autistic but to now have the official diagnosis is amazing for me and validating. I have been through a lot of shit in my teens to early 20s that left a lot of scars and trauma but now I give myself more compassion and feel like having this diagnosis is kind of a closure for me for some of the things that have happened and especially to be told a lot of autistic women go through similar experiences. I'm not sure how to feel happy or elated or whatever I'm just glad to have the diagnosis. Sorry needed to put this somewhere I don't really have anyone to talk to about this.
