Hello, I'm new and this is my first post. I'm 43 and was diagnosed as autistic 3 months ago. I've not told my extended family yet as they are not fully onboard with neuro divergent brains as a concept. My dad has been diagnosed with end of life cancer. My sister in law set up a group chat to update the family. I live 6 hours away from my extended family. I have been told to stop asking questions on the group chat as it is upsetting people. I tried to ring Macmillan but can't get through. I wondered if anyone had a similar experience and how you navigate it all? I'm not very emotional and want the facts but I also want to support my dad mentally as he is now processing he is end of life. But I keep saying the wrong things. I feel like I need a list of rules! Thanks
