Good Evening All,
I would love to formulate a post diagnostic course for Autistics or even a book. One that contains all of the information that I wish had been available to me when I had been diagnosed. That information that you spend hours and hours foraging for in the information jungle that is the world wide web. Information that is slowly learned from time spent with other Autistics but that would be so much more convenient and time saving to have in a nice neat easy to read and digest format.
So, what information would you want to see in a post diagnostic course or book?
I’d like to see a legal section. Autistic people seem to have more than their fair share of issues where they either need to use the law to protect themselves or are in danger of getting caught in a legal system that doesn’t understand them.
so i'd say you’d want sections on
The points that you raise are very valid. There's certainly a lot of Autistic adults in the workplace who are having to seek reasonable adjustments. perhaps for something which they have always found stressful, but never understood why. Until they get an Autism diagnosis and then suddenly it all makes sense. The sensory overload when too many people are talking at once; the overwhelm when completion of lots of tasks are being asked of you at once; the confusion when things aren't explained clearly enough to understand them.
