Late diagnosed autism in my 50's but no idea what to do next??

Hi I received my ASD diagnosis about 2 months ago which brought up a lot of different emotions and I  was basically given a few websites to look at and some books to read, which I didn't do as I felt a bit unsupported with it all.  I just looked at loads of stuff online and got even more confused!

Having looked through so many things I couldn't seem to find where to start with any advice or support so I've ended up here writing a post which I've never done before !! 

I guess I thought this might be a good place to write something with like minded people but I have no idea what to expect!!

  • Welcome  , this is a good place to start. If you think of a question start a post, or join in with anything else people are talking about.  

    A good place to start is finding a book you relate to.  I have been reading Unmasking Autism, (though I am have issues with it to be slightly controversial, but it is generally well regarded.)

    I hope you can find your feet, it is a very confusing to find out later in life!
