Discovering how autism affects you - strategy needed

kayaker

Hello, I am struggling with my identity as I don’t know where to start and how to record the information.  Do I take a book and write it down how it affects me using their chapters? That will work for the first book but further books the chapters will have different names. I need to keep it simple from the start, I feel overwhelmed and anxious before I’ve even started.

I would be keen to understand what strategies people have tried and what's worked for you please? I do have a personalised report with suggested reading but when it comes to exploring how autism affects me I'm struggling to know how to organise the information. I am quite old school so using word was going to be my first option.

Thank you in advance

  • I can only say what I did when filling in the background questionnaire for my autism assessment. I looked through the diagnostic manual ICD-10 for the criteria for diagnosing ASD. Then I fitted my traits and history into all the necessary sub-sections. That way the organisation is already done for you.
