I was diagnosed in February. The low masking version of the experience is interestingly different: there's no sense of identity crisis, and most of the grief was processed before I was even aware of my autism, because I had a good sense of who I was and how it was related to my struggles even if I didn't know what to call it. But even so, there is a huge sense of clarity that wasn't there before.
Very helpful!! Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏🏼 I am looking forward to the next installment.
❤ You’re very inspiring and generous for sharing this and I’m very proud of you!
