Hi all new here

Mermaidsophiebarbie

Hi all, I’m Sophie, I have recently been diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder after years and years of feeling incredibly different and really quite lonely, I have struggled for years so I’m trying to navigate through things etc! Any advice or anything would be great! 
do you ever feel really different ? Like you see the world in a different way? I feel my mind plays pictures or objects as if in  a move scene ! 
thanks all

  • Welcome to forum !! I am a newly diagnosed autistic as well so still processing it myself. I have found engaging with the autistic community on here has helped a lot and made me feel less alone. I also reached out to an online autism support group and that also helped me.

    I also think consuming media with autistic representation is really beneficial and I have found watching autistic YouTubers really useful as well as they document their on journeys which you may relate to and get some guidance that way.

    The most important thing to remember is you’re not alone and there’s nothing wrong with you :)
