Hi, I’ve just got my diagnosis and I’m a 22 year old female. Supposedly it’s been obvious from when I was young but I’m only just getting the diagnosis now. I guess I’m just looking for advice. I feel weird and different and I don’t know what help I need or where to get it so what helped you guys get through it? I find it hard to work and still have a normal life at home without massive melt downs and my days off are basically just sensory overload attacks over and over again. 
please any advice would be amazing, I feel like I’m going through it all alone even though I have so many people around me. 
thank you

    @LucyLandRover thank you! I will definitely look into support groups, hopefully covid hasn’t completely stopped them! I’m definitely in a weird in the middle situation right now so all your advice is great 

    I’ll try some stimming and sensory help products

    thank you

    Hello,

    please do try ear defenders as they make it possible for me to go shopping by calming down the sheer intensity of noise I experience when walking in. Your employer should make reasonable adjustments so ask about wearing them. Sadly Covid has stopped my support group but I do keep in email contact which is a big help. Hopefully the pandemic will ease in the new year and support groups will be able to start holding meetings. i hope you find one localy to you.
