Hi,
I very recently received my diagnosis/confirmation which has been a huge relief and also already answered a lot of questions. During the assessment they picked up that I'm very skilled at masking and how exhausted it makes me feel. It would be nice to try and start breaking down those masking barriers with others but not sure what that will look like. Not sure what I'm asking, but I think I'd be grateful for any advice from anyone who's had an adult diagnosis and what next steps I could take.
Thank you!

This book should be of help with that:
Taking Off the Mask: Practical Exercises to Help Understand and Minimise the Effects of Autistic Camouflaging - Hannah Louise BelcherISBN 9781787755901
Another book that is relevant to your situation is:
Very Late Diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome - Wylie, Philip. Beardon, Luke. Heath, Sara (2014)ISBN 9781849054331
Thanks the reply and the book recommendations, I've been listening to a few on audible so I'll add these to the list!
