Newly diagnosed daughter

NAS78204

Hi, after years of our 16yr old daughter having panic attacks and sensitivity to certain noises, we finally found out last week she is autistic. While we are relieved to get the diagnosis and finally in her words “everyone can now understand why I am like I am”- what do we do now? what help is there?  Any support groups would be great. ThanksBlush

  • There's very limited help and support services for adults, I find it good joining online autism communities like this to ask autistic people who experience autism what people can do to solve issues.

    Learn about Autism and how your daughter is affected as everyone on the autism spectrum are affected with variation. Join autism communities and ask any questions, then autistic adults will answer questions and share how they live and cope with the challenging traits like anxiety and sensory issues.

    This charity, The National Autistic Society's website contains information about all the things that characterizes autism and some ways to cope.

    I hope that's helped.
