Hi. I haven't been on social media for the past year or so. (Mental health: very not good.)

But yesterday I had the final part of my autism assessment, and the official verdict is that I am #ActuallyAutistic.

It's a relief, but it feels a bit weird. I guess 50+ years of bafflement and self-loathing don't just go away overnight. But I made a bargain with the universe that I'd try to give living as my real self a go if the diagnosis was autism.

Just need to find out who/what my 'real self' is.
