Communication struggles - its so hard!

Dear missnjport,

I know many of the community will be able to relate to the difficulties when seeking an autism diagnosis. It can sometimes help to write down some of your feelings to share with your medical team as they may be able to offer reassurance or support. 

I thought I would share some resources that may help:

• Deciding whether to seek an autism assessment
• How to request an autism assessment
• What happens during an autism assessment
• Autism and communication - this has some helpful advice on how to self-manage some of the common difficulties faced by autistic people.

I hope some of this is helpful, please reach out if you need any advice or support.

Take care,

Olivia Mod
