More and more adults are being diagnosed with Autism later in their lives. While this journey of self discovery may have taken some time to come to this moment, you might have known something was different about you from the start. What does a recent diagnosis mean to you? How do you process your emotions, feelings, memories, potential traumas and painful experiences? Every neurodivergent individual is unique, meaning that no two people's experiences and ways of processing an autism diagnosis will be the same. The key is to be self-aware, self-accepting, and find your own definition of peace with that diagnosis.
