Moving forwards with Autism

One thing that I’ve been wondering for the past few days, is how will I move forwards with Autism after the ‘post diagnosis phase’ has passed? Right now, a little over 9 months post-diagnosis, I’m still very much in the phase of reconciling with ‘being autistic’, of chatting with other autistic people on here and trying to ‘find my feet’ as a newly diagnosed autistic adult. But what happens afterwards? What happens once I have reconciled and found my feet? What parts of my old life will stay the same and what will change, what changes do I need to make to my life to move forwards with Autism? Sorry this is a bit of a Philosophical thread! What do others think? What parts of your life need to change to accommodate being autistic? Do you even think that you need to make any changes?

    Due to sounding quite literate and articulate! People think im normal but just weird..

    Ive somehow got to get to know me...who i really am.....time to drop the masking and carrying all that weight any longer...but it seems so tethered to me...that practise!.....i guess it will all take time.
