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

Aiden

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!

  • I wish I'd known I could have a needs assessement, I was diagnosed and just left to get on with it, the thought seemed to be that I'd gone 50 years managing and that I could manage for the rest of my life, there was no consideration that I had needs that might have been part of the reason I sought diagnosis in the first place.
