Moving on from the Diagnosis of being an autistic adult.

As an older man, who was diagnosed as on the ASD scale last year via the Retreat, York, i was expecting my life to become easier and people more understanding of my condition. However, although I am happy that I understand why I have been backwards socially and find relationships very difficult, I have not ben able to move forward at all.

Covid was a very bad time for me as my father died without the proper care needed due to the severe restrictions in 2020. After my father died, my uncle died in 2022.  I was at my lowest point and the doctor tried to prescribe social help in the way of MIND and WELLBEING. 

I have been unable to go outside the house now, and frequently experience panic attacks if I have to break any routine.  I am hoping there is someone through this organisation who I can talk to
