Hi there
I am a new member following my husbands diagnosis two and a half years ago. Just wondering if there is anyone else out there with the same position as we are. I feel awful that following diagnosis there feels like there is nothing out there to help my husband
Hi NAS24818,
You might be interested in reading the 'After Diagnosis' information booklet here on the site, which is for adults with a recent diagnosis - http://www.autism.org.uk/products/leaflets/what-next.aspx
You can also look in the Autism Services Directory - http://www.autism.org.uk/directory.aspx - to see what is available in your area in terms of support groups, treatment and therapy, and advice. There are many services aimed at helping adults with autism and hopefully you'll be able to find someone helpful in your local area.
Otherwise you can always call the NAS helpline at 0808 800 4104 for additional advice.
Best wishes,
Ross - mod
