How do you cope?

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.

    This could have been my question. I'm at exactly the same stage - or nearly as I'm waiting for my write up of my diagnosis. It's very confusing having lived so long thinking I was just a bit useless, neurotic or hypersensitive. Actually I'm really tough.

     Do any of you have recommendations for resources/books etc which might help and I? Something like a workbook?

    PS  I'm very jealous! I love North Wales but live a long way away.

    Hi Sparrow

    By far the best book I’ve read is Untypical by Pete Wharmby. It really resonated with me and found some things quite helpful
