Hi, I've never been on a forum before so not too sure how this works. I'm 26 years old and was diagnosed with Autism this week, I'm feeling totally confused and have no idea what to think or what I'm supposed to do now as I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder years ago so have always thought that was it, so this being a big change is a lot to get my head around and would really appreciate it if anyone has any advice for me on what to do now.
Thank you.
Hey there,
It can be a very confusing and unsettling time after a diagnosis. Remember the NAS helpline is always available to help answer any questions you may have on your diagnosis or just on autism in general. You can contact the team via telephone on 0808 800 4104 (Monday to Thursday 10am to 4pm, Friday 9am to 3pm). Or alternatively, should you prefer to send a message, you can do so via their webform:https://www.autism.org.uk/services/helplines/main/questions.aspx
Hope this helps,
take care,
SteveMod
