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 so far self-diagnosed.

    I was referred for an assessment for the official diagnosis. Still waiting.

    I agree, huge parts of the life suddenly make sense. The same happened to me.

    It feels huge. I have the same experience.

    I see it as a positive having the label.
