After diagnosis, what’s next?

I was diagnosed with autism about a month ago, I was asked if I wanted counselling but was also told that the waiting list is very long. I now have a leaflet but just seem to be at a loss as to being able to move forward.

I can see on the NHS app that my GP has received my report and a member of the clerical staff has filed it in my records. I don’t know if anyone has even read it. I thought the GP might have asked me in to discuss the future and basically how I’m getting on.

What advice has anyone else received?

  • I too was diagnosed with Autism last month. Also, I received some Post Diagnostic Support Sessions to discuss and understand some Aspects of my Autism Diagnosis better.

    I will be sent some information and contact details of other services that provide support for Autism in the next couple of weeks.
