A woman was "relieved" to know she had autism after always feeling tired after getting home from work. Carrie Kearns, 40, struggled to fit in throughout her life and considered herself a loner, before recently discovering she had autism.
As reported by the Mirror, doctors explained the reason why she felt so exhausted was that she had been "masking all day trying to fit in." The mum-of-two said she felt relieved by the discovery after the difficulties she has faced.
Speaking with Manchester Evening News, she said: “It is a relief finding out you’re autistic because you realise there’s nothing wrong with me. I understand the way I think and the way I act and I do things is normal for me and it’s okay to do those things and be that way.”
