What do you wish you'd known about autism right after diagnosis?

Hello! I'm Aidan and new to the community, I was diagnosed about four days ago.

I'm trying to learn as much as possible to try and adjust to it as quickly as possible. So I'm just interested about what knowledge or support services that you may have now but wished you'd had right after diagnosis?

I'm just trying to get it all understood quite quickly.

Thanks for any responses and it's nice to be fully diagnosed and here!

  • You ask "what do you wish you'd known about autism right after diagnosis?"........and for me, the best answer is that......

    "Diagnosis actually changes virtually nothing at all."

    I am sorry if this sounds like a negative answer, because it is not intended to be anything other than an honest answer to the question you asked.
