Newly diagnosed

Ash56

Hi  everyone 

I received my diagnosis of ASD1 on Thursday and I am so relieved after years of feeling I didn't quite fit in if anyone has any advice I would be very grateful thanks in advance.

  • take you time - expect 12+ months - I think at 18 months I have a fair good understanding of myself

    Best advice - connect with ND community on forums or online meetings - I personally dont do in-person meetings - the ones I have attended have not been in good settings for me.  I prefer online calls - and have made ND friends !

    I do very limited disclosure - I would say focus on yourself - rather than explaining Autism to others
