    I think that really depends on you, what you want from your diagnosis, why you got one, what your autism affects in your life ; ie does it make your work difficult, is making friends difficult

    take one issue at a time, and see what you can do to make it better

    do you know much about autism/asd/aspergers/high functioning autism ? if not, I'd start with that, learn about what it is, what it means for you,

    did those who diagnosed you give you any help, advice, or a number you can call to talk about it with? if not, go and ask them about it, ask them who you can sit and talk with to understand more about it

    i will say having a diagnosis of asd (-autistic spectrum disorder)  doesnt change who you are or anything else, you are still you just now know a wee bit more about you

  • Hey Gary,

    Hmm where to start?? Well their isn't really a beginning when i got diagnosed at 16 i just started googling what it is although it can't be scary to take it all in
