Edit - thank you! To be honest its still populating files across my brainiverse and hasn't sorted itself into any kind of readable format yet. I have literally no idea what I think, although became very emotional when she said it was very clear and not even close to the boundary where they would be unsure or unable to diagnose. So it basically means a whole life of feeling 'other' or wired up wrong or generally so different noone could ever understand me, now there's an answer for. And that made me feel very overwhelmed. So we'll see if it makes a material difference. At the very least I hope to try and use it to be a bit kinder to myself, as have a tendency to beat myself up over a lot of things.
@TheBreadmonkey @actuallyautistic I know those feelings well, many late diagnosed Autists do.
Take your time, as you rightly say the very first thing to do is stop blaming yourself - we are not broken, we are not wired up wrong - just differently!
I embraced the label of #Neurospicy because that just feels so me!
If you’re interested this was my diagnosis day…
@TheBreadmonkey welcome to the party 
@TheBreadmonkey @niamhgarvey That was one of the reasons I told quite a lot of people about the diagnosis: to hear myself say it out loud.
@Meyltje @TheBreadmonkey great point!!!
@Meyltje @TheBreadmonkey I think I needed to understand my own presentation of autism and how it affected me before I was ready to share it so I felt prepared to argue my case if people doubted me.
I love you Paul
I'm too fucking awkward to know how to respond to some of the things you say but have built up a PROFILE that I'm giving to the POLICE.... not really - I'm trying to say I've built up an understanding that your posts come from a place of love even if I'm not always equipped to understand them so just want you to know I think you are GREAT and I am reporting you to the POLICE.... again not really - I just find it very hard to be sincere.... because I am now DISABLED.... (help I can't stop)
we are all mad. others are better at masking it,
love you too ben.
I love you. X

@TheBreadmonkey Yes, agreed. totally all —ick, ick, wtf— but big hugs because we understand! 
@TheBreadmonkey Ooh, I love you, too! xxoo
