I finally received my diagnosis.

I was finally diagnosed with ASD level one this week, as well as ADHD (inattentive type). I was pretty surprised to receive the ADHD diagnosis. Ive always immensely struggled with focusing on tasks, but I knew that Autism could also present that way, so the second diagnosis (ADHD) kind of threw me for a loop.

Initially I felt a huge sense of calm upon hearing my results, but that lasted about two days. Now my brain is in overdrive trying to convince me that I faked it, and both of my diagnoses are not accurate. I have struggled with OCD as well as imposter syndrome in the past, so it is not a surprise to me that this is happening. However, I am having a lot of trouble combatting these thoughts. Has anyone else dealt with this after a late diagnosis? And if so, what did you do about it?
