Hi!
I just received my autism diagnosis this week and I have been feeling really lost since getting it.
I feel like I don't know who I am and I wondered if anyone has any advice on next steps?
There is some advice here.

It is normal to feel a bit lost. I still do to, some extent, but am getting more used to it.
Thanks for the link. May I ask how long you have had your diagnosis?
About two months. I've got a lot from this board. I don't mean advice as such, but there are a lot of nice people who understand specific aspects of what it's like. And we are all very different.
