Newly Diagnosed

NAS83854

Hi all. I’m 25 and have received a diagnosis of ASD 2 months ago. Whilst I was expecting it, I have been having more trouble than I thought actually processing it because it has been an overwhelming experience. I have been researching to no end in somewhere that can help me talk through my thoughts and feelings? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of help available for adults apart from social groups which I am not really interested in. I think I might need a one on one session with a therapist or counsellor etc someone like that. Has anyone else had this type of situation and got any advice or reccomendations on where to go or what to do. Thanks x

  • Hello and welcome to the community - it's been a big help to me and I'm sure it will be for you too.

    I'm sorry you're struggling at the moment. It isn't easy to take everything in after being diagnosed, it can be hard to process and understand. Sadly support for us is limited but there's a lot of support here so if you need any help please ask.

    I hope you'll enjoy being here :)
