Hi:)
I'm 22 and just received my ASD diagnosis. Even though I've known for a while, it is still a lot to process and i am struggling with this...
I work in finance and am determined to not let this hinder my career.
Is anyone is the same boat?
Any recommendations on how to process this? And how to move forward?
Thank you x
Hi NAS91982, You might want to have a look at some of the advice pages here on the NAS site if you're looking for support or information following your diagnosis. I would recommend you have a look at the pages on post-diagnosis support for autistic adults - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/post-diagnosis-support/autistic-adults - as well as disclosing your autism - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/disclosing-your-autism/autistic-adults - and employment/getting support at work - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/employment/support-at-work/autistic-adults Hope this is of some help,Ross - mod
