High Functioning Autism / Moderate Autism - Recently diagnosed

Hi, I was diagnosed recently and have been struggling with it. I have a supportive Mother but the rest of my family don't really seem to care about it when to me it feels like a very big deal. I started questioning my mental health when I was 16 because I noticed some significant changes but I wasn't ready to find out or look into what these thoughts and feelings were. It's only very recently that I've started to force myself to communicate with my family. I have always spoken very little, so I only started making those changes about a year ago. Anyway I won't bore you all but it's become more overwhelming as I now have a work coach from the jobcentre in my area and I'm just very anxious and stressed this week.
