Cheers on the diagnosis! How do you feel about it?

Maybe you could benefit from joining NAUK? The female compartment of The Asperger Community.

Oh I didn't know this existed! I'm leaving Denmark very soon - moving to Norway, perhaps they have something similar there? I'll have to check!

As to how I feel... I'm not sure, to be honest, but not a whole lot different than how I felt before; I think it has helped by providing me with validation that I'm wired differently and not just "rude", "boring", "robotic" yet "too sensitive", etc. I'm still debating whether to tell my family or not, and how to tell them :roll:

Perhaps think on it a while? I've seen a lot of people on this forum say that people who were nice to them before accepted the diagnosis and tried to understand, whereas people who were not understanding before diagnosis were not understanding after diagnosis either.

Velkommen, hyggelig å få besøk!

Her er en hel googleside, hvor du bør kunne finde foreninger lokalt.
Det ser ud, som om der er mere organisering i Norge.
Held og lykke!
