New diagnosis

AndyB

Hi all, I'm Andy, 46 and after having an assessment several weeks ago, I finally have my diagnosis. Still processing at the moment, I suspected for a long time, but good to have things validated. I'm not entirely sure what to do next really, but I do already know quite a lot about ASD already as I've worked with disabilities for 25 years and am currently working in a supported living house with four very different autistic individuals. I'm not too sure what to do next on terms of who to tell and when etc, why thoughts? Thanks
