From "professional" to "autistic"... where do I go now?

I’m also in a helping profession and autistic. Getting a diagnosis can throw up a lot of self doubt about our ability to do our job. I guess in reality we’re no less able to do our job than we were prior to being diagnosed. I do still doubt myself though, should I really be doing this job when I’ve got all this neurological stuff going on?

Totally agree, we are in the same profession,  although different specialisms, I totally agree, I was and am competent at my job but being AS also comes with it a lack of self confidence probably due to years of  misunderstandings

My diagnosis was made after I'd had to leave my job. Leaving my job was v difficult at that time.
