Newly diagnosed advice

MJJ24

Hello all, I am newly diagnosed ASD and am struggling a bit to come to terms with the diagnosis even though I was kind of expecting it. I just really don't know how to feel. I feel like its explained a lot for me but at the same time it made me feel a bit down because it almost feels like all the struggles I have had, I am always going to have now. Just looking for any advice on how people adjusted/came to terms with there diagnosis. Thank you in advance!

  • Hi and welcome to the forum.

    You're not alone in feeling this way. Just remember that you're still the same person you always were, but now you have more information about yourself and knowledge can be power. It takes time, but I found that once I realised how I was reacting to things and how I was different to others, I could start to learn how to cope with situations better.

    The main thing is to keep reading about autism and keep asking questions. Good luck with your journey of discovery.
