Welcome to the club! For me it was just nice having explanations for things. Instead of just labeling myself as a lazy weirdo, I can try to be easier on myself knowing normal things are just more difficult for me.

How did you find the process? I'm just kicking off the same. The waiting lists are LOOOONG, and I'm still in the am-i/aren't-i phase...

That's a huge revelation! If you're like me, it's going to be an odd roller coaster of acceptance, joy, insight, confusion, and changes in your social network. I recommend looking up videos on YT for individuals that recently found out they were autistic. Also, become active in an autistic community so you have others to help you navigate the new world you will find yourself in. Feel free to post as many questions as come up on this community! That's what we're here for.
