ESA and Autism for adult

Hi

I recently was diagnosed with Aspergers and it's honestly a relief. It answers a lot but I won't go into that.

I've been on JSA for a short while and I'm having major issues with the work program not understanding my anxiety and social issues. I've been working on it a lot with a nurse since I was diagnosed but I am reluctantly accepting I may need to be on ESA for a while. I want to be in a support group if they will allow it.

How can I go about organising this? I called up the Jobcentre and they made me feel terrified, they were not at all understanding or polite. All I know is I need to sign off JSA and then sign up for ESA but during the 14 days I won't receive any money? 

I only have my diganosis right now. I don't have any sick note and I'm scared to ask my doctor for one, I'm not sure what to say to them. I'm not really sick I just need some help.

Thank you
