Just got officially diagnosed. It is great to know for sure why I have had the difficulties I have had. It is different than being 90% sure and wondering if maybe I have it maybe I don't. Anyone else recently diagnosed?

I was only just diagnosed on Monday(11thMarch) myself, it hasn't really sunk in properly yet and i find myself doubting the diagnoses but at the same time im relieved to have received it lol

I was diagnosed with ASD. Aspergers wasn't mentioned. Is that because they are trying to get rid of the Aspergers label or is ASD different from Aspergers?

They said I am , and have been sufficiently impaired through out my life to meet the ASD diagnoses.

PDD-NOS and Asperger's are both being dropped when the DSMV comes out in May. People will be classified either under ASD or Social Communication Disorder.

I got mine on the 5th, so its been a week since... feel a lot happier within myself, still got my issues but I am embracing me for being me it seems.
Not done anything with the diagnosis and may not, I did it for myself.

Diagnosed with Aspergers 27th February. Makes sense of so much but too late to change the past. Unlikely to share it with anyone. Very glad to have the diagnosis though.

I'm confused about my diagnoses. I'm not sure if I should say I have ASD or Aspergers.

I've never heard of Social Communication Disorder
