late discovered autistic woman - help what next........

SouthernWren

Newly diagnosed with Autism, female and in my late 40s, but what now......

Its a great feeling when I found out, such a relief that I am not going crazy. For me it has helped puts lots of things into perspective, especially on how I think and feel differently to others.

However only diagnosed in March this year and still finding my feet, and what are the next steps.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, as I dont know anyone else with Autism to ask. 

Thank you all, and have a great Sunday Slight smile

  • Age 53 here, diagnosed in 2021, Irish Catholic background, older gay man, late diagnosis, still no post-diagnosis assessment, so still have no idea what my support needs are (it’s scandalous that this is still not a basic legal entitlement nor basic legal obligation on all public bodies and NHS) - the link provided below seems pretty comprehensive as a training course in itself, which aside from this forum and the NAS website is the only adult autism support available here in the U.K.
