My Autism Diagnosis: A Journey of Self-Discovery

hi! I'm new so I just thought I'd share something. I've had anxiety and social problems since I was a kid and the doctors always presumed I had ADHD. my mom never believed it so when we moved to Illinois we went to a autism doctor that my cousin had seen before (he's also got autism but he is more agressive). the doctor diagnosed me with autism and other things which I can't seem to remember but, either way my mom said it finally made since on how I acted. I was kinda relieved to finally know something but then again it was new so I was scared. idk why. the more I think of it the more I feel scared of what people will think of me but I'm learning to reach out more and talk to people. so hopefully that all helps. sorry for saying so much on this post 😅
