Just got a diagnosis...what next?

New to the site. In fact I only got my diagnosis letter through from the psychologist through the door on Thursday.

I'm 50 and have just been diagnosed with high functioning ASD. What now? I'm in Falkirk in Central Scotland. From what I gather, the facilities available for adults newly diagnosed are sparse.

I'd also like to know what benefits, etc. I may be entitled to. I also suffer with various chronic pains/conditions which make my mobility difficult. What are the odds I'd qualify for a blue badge?

Thoughts, advice, direction, etc. welcomed.

Thanks.
