Looking for advice

Hi everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with autism at the grand old age of 29. To be honest, that suddenly makes huge parts of my life make sense. The problem is I now have no idea what to do with that information, all my googling assumes I want info on children and I'm feeling lost and overwhelmed with everything. Does anyone have any advice that might help me come to terms with it? I know sticking a label on the problems I've always had doesn't change anything about who I am, but it still feels huge.

    I am about to start the process.  I see it as a positive having the label.  You are afforded protection at work and can get access to services you need.  Admittedly you might have to fight for it. 

    Let your mind accept it and work with it.
