Just Diagnosed

Kitty
over 1 year ago

I was just diagnosed today with Autism at 26 (female). I'm in the US and unsure what my next steps should be. I have some ideas and know what I need to do for the Academic portion of my life, but outside of school services,I have no idea. My psychologist recommended joining an online group, as that is the setting where I blossom the best socially. I would love advice on what my next steps should be. A little about me I currently work only part-time in my field of special interest in history. I'm in a grad program through ASU for World War Two history. And I would love all the advice you can give me.

    I think many on this site have a hard time post diagnosis, adjusting to the new reality and coming to terms with the heartbreaking aspects of being autistic.  Maybe it is a bit different for me being an late 40s guy, but if you have issues you want to discuss to just vent, this seems like the place to do it.
