Thanks Elgee. What made me get assessed is that my psychiatrist suggested I might be autistic. Thanks for your reflections on embracing the diagnosis. My GP and CMHT probably do need to know, as I have MH conditions, and autism excludes other diagnoses. Thanks Double Retired. It's good to hear you'v...

I found out a few days ago that I've got autism, I haven't got the reports yet. I'm feeling very lost, don't know what to say/when to tell people (e.g. family). I'm not sure if I want to share it with my GP or CMHT. Does anyone have any advice?
