Exploring My Autism Diagnosis and Symptoms

hi I am new to this app. have a few diagnosis but was curious if there were other autistics similar to me. i also have symptoms I struggle with that don't seem to fall into a specific diagnosis, which is frustrating. not sure what else to mention right now. new to the autism diagnosis and I mask pretty well in social situations so sometimes I feel like I have imposter syndrome, like I feel like I'm not "autistic enough". but spending allot of my younger years definitely has led to anxiety and depression. finally I feel like I'm getting better at being myself and feel much less depressed. also, I love and am obsessed with cats.

❤️ ✋ I mask well too. It’s a coping mechanism. Now it’s time to process and shed the mask
