Newly diagnosed with Asperger’s

I’m feeling a little bit overwhelmed right now just been diagnosed with Asperger’s and it’s all very scary and new to me as I’m 42 I also don’t know how to feel I just feel shocked but glad I’m now going to get the right support but I feel I need time to process this

  • I’ve also just been diagnosed and I am 47, I do already have sunflower lanyards.  I think my main concern now is how much do I need to share and to whom. Like disabled people are very open to abuse but also we sometimes do need to approach strangers to get help. 

    What came out of my assessment for me is that I’m a poor judge of character,  so I want to know which organisations are autism friendly so I can go and enjoy myself. 

  • Also is there an app or something for National Autistic Society?  I just would find it easier to have an automatic login through a picture icon in my phone.
