I am qualified to help others, yet, I have been unable to do so since my diagnosis.
Do not look at your diagnosis as the problem but as the point where you start your new journey.
You know what you are good at, your strengths, and if like @Plastic and myself (nerdy engineers/geeks) then start small and build up your confidence on the little things you can do. I know it takes time to re-build confidence, enthusiasm and motivation from what appears a car crash although you can use it to your advantage.
Make some notes/lists and when you do one add a tick/mark (x ticks demonstrates you have achieved something.
I am stopped in reading the new Victoria Honeybourne book "A Practical Guide to Happiness in Adults on the Autism Spectrum" at the point I need to make a list. Once I am ready then I will write the list and carry on through it.
I agree that lists are great!!
I much prefer writing the 'to do' lists until they're neat and then I file them away!!! I mostly never actually do the 'things to do'!!!
I need to borrow that when you've finished it. lol
