Support and Employment

symthetic

Hello everyone, 

I'm new here, and just recently got my Lvl 1 ASD diagnosis at 47 (which is obviously a whole thing). I was wondering if anyone knew of any support/resources for people with ASD in terms of getting into employment, general support etc.

I'm in therapy and have asked my GP about additional options for that, but I'm not really sure where else to look - or if there even is any additional support for people with high functioning. I'm not expecting much to be honest, but wanted to check all the same.

Thanks!

  • Welcome to the 'Latelings' club. There may be support groups in your area that you could ask. I certainly had a 6-8 week 'late diagnosed' group, which discussed various topics about what ASD may mean for you. Other than that I have found very little support. The NAS has loads of pages of generic support but they are limited in detail.

    There are lots of books that you can read to do your own research. I am afraid that is about all you can do.

    I have found this forum to be a place of safety to discuss how autism affects each other. There is a wealth of knowledge so feel free to ask questions. Remember there is no stupid questions to ask but only stupid answers.

    best of luck
