I am approaching 40 and have just been diagnosed with autism. We believe that my daughter possibly is also. My home life isn’t great at the minute mostly self inflicted. My relationship with my daughter hasn’t been great for a while or my wife. I don’t really know where to turn at the minute. I have a heavy sense of shame and embarrassments hanging over me like a dark cloud at the minute

    Thank you for sharing your current feelings, and I am sorry things are not so great at the moment.

    In addition to Bunny's excellent resources, including the self-help book about loving someone with Asperger's syndrome, here are some additional NAS webpages that you might find useful:

    NAS - Family relationships - this page has guides on how one can navigate family dynamics and support their autistic family member (e.g., autistic daughters and spouses).

    NAS - Family support - this page has support and advice for parents-carers of autistic children including how to accurately understand their needs and how to best identify and access the best support systems for them.

    I hope your home life and family relationships improve over time.

    Kind regards,
