Question for #actuallyautistic fedi-folks:
Can someone give me some pros and cons to being officially diagnosed?
I'm 47 and discovered my status literally a month ago. As I'm in the middle of a job hunt (13 months and counting since I was laid off)—I'm deeply curious to hear folks' stories of what happened post-diagnosis if you got one.
And if not, why not?
How does it affect your life either way?
Much thanks in advance.
