Living as a newly diagnosed Autie, pt1 I was now a member of a large and growing community of people who could not only understand my experience but also share in it, in a way that was never previously conceived of.

After finally getting my formal diagnosis, NO ONE was happy for me. But I was happy. Very Happy.

Formal Diagnosis For the first time in my life, I was being told that it was OK to be who I was. I wasn’t a broken neuro-normative person, I was a perfectly fine, autistic person

Finally at 55 years old, I got my formal ASD diagnosis.
