Online Post-diagnostic Support, discussion groups?

Hi,

I am 46 years old and was diagnosed as autistic less than a month ago. I am a mixture of incredibly happy at finally finding an 'explanation' for things that made no sense to me for my entire life but also full of questions.

I was a successful, award-winning CEO for 15 years, but I 'retired' 2 years ago. I know it was autism burnout now. I now volunteer as a NED for several charities whilst my wife works to keep us afloat. I'm not sure I could ever go back into the business world.

Anyway, I've been desperately looking for post-diagnostic support, but, as I'm sure you're all aware, everywhere is swamped with massive waiting lists.

I was wondering, are there any Zoom/online events that people attend or general autism catchups anyone can recommend? It strikes me that with the 'professional' community so over-stretched, such 'autism discussion groups' could be really helpful and easy enough to put together. I know there are many autistic people in digital (like me), so surely there's a Discord or Slack group out there?

Anyway, I would really appreciate some pointers as I'm currently going through this alone and I really would like to find people to talk to.
