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

I am qualified to help others, yet, I have been unable to do so since my diagnosis.

  • 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? 

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