I only got my diagnosis a few months ago and I’m struggling so much. I’m questioning everything, especially work, I feel like I'm in the wrong job completely and I can’t keep up with the demands of life in general. I also feel completely hopeless and I’m struggling to see a future as I can’t see myself making meaningful connections with anyone so what future do I have? Sorry to be so down but I am really struggling with what to do now that I know that this is the situation forever and there’s no cure for it.
Hello NAS88765
I'm sorry that you feel hopeless after receiving your diagnosis. The NAS website has a page called 'Post-diagnosis Support' which might bring you some help. Here is the link: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/post-diagnosis-support/autistic-adults
All the best,
