Developing my own understanding of my ASD- how?

Penguin

I have recently been with ASD- I have other dragonises of dyspraxia and dyscalculia. At first it was hard to process in realising and now I am trying to read things online about ASD and I just feel saturated and I am struggling to process all the information. I am under a community health team who have encouraged me to read things online and build my own understanding. What strikes me about the online community on here is that people seem to have insight and understanding and I don't feel like I have that right now.  How do I develop my understanding of ASD and how it relates to my dyspraxia and dyscalculia. I have looked for resources in my local area and there seems to offer counselling but its for young people and I am an adult. I feel like I need to talk things through in a way and there is a 'gap' in my care right now about it. 

If anyone can offer any thoughts or help with the above I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you.

  • Hi and welcome. I'd say just slow down and take things in your own time. We're all different, even with just autism, so there's no 'one size fits all'. There's also real lack of follow-up care for adults, so you're not alone. Many of us find that being part of this community really helps.
