Newly Diagnosed

I've been recently diagnosed with Autism, I also have CPTSD, Anxiety and Depression so I'm feeling a little bit unsure of myself. I'm not sure how I should be feeling, how I should act or react to things.  This is all rather new for me, even though I have a son with mild Autism. I'm not sure where I am on the spectrum yet but I like to do things a certain way, I like my routine and I like to know what is happening and when. 

I hope I can make new friends here and if possible meet up for chats etc.

  • Hi Sarah nice to meet you, I'm Sam, recently diagnosed too always known I'm autistic but had to go through many appointments  referrals and diagnosis to get here, don't  try and force yourself to feel anything is my only advise, roll with what you're feeling try not to suppress it, give yourself some time

    I don't know too and I think that's okay neourdivergent.

    My eldest son is adhd and my second youngest is autistic too. Wherever you're on the spectrum you're on it I guess. Read lots on autism try and see wgat is relatable to you.
