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.
I don't cope.
Sorry to read this, Mark. What makes it especially hard to cope? Hopefully, sharing your thoughts here makes life a tiny bit more tolerable.
Loneliness; noone to help me with shopping; noone to help me with, well, anything that involves talking to strangers, eg reporting repairs that need doing at home, disputing incorrect bills, contacting lawyers when I'm the victim of discrimination etc; noone to help me find social opportunities and noone to go with me when I find one myself. All sorts of things really.
