I’m a recently diagnosed adult woman and was wondering what people find helps them cope the best? I’m just trying to make adjustments in my life as I’m learning more about how I struggle. Just want to see how people may cope with social communication, sensory issues, routine/changes. Etc. Any suggestions would be welcome as I’m finding it difficult to put adjustments and tools in place after going without them for years.
Since my diagnosis, I don't feel guilty about being on my own so much. I've realised that I *need* more time and space, as working & socialising are exhausting. I make sure to find time for my interests, such as running and making YouTube videos. Basically, as Martin said, I'm kinder to myself.
