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

Jsp72

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!!

  • Hi JSP72 I am a female diagnosed with Autism 18 months ago aged 53 at the time, so I think we've probably been through some similar experiences! This is my first post on here. I recommend a book called Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things? by Pierre Novellie who is a comedian in his 30's. I found his book about late diagnosis is both informative and very funny. I hope you are doing OK and please know you are not alone - there are so many of us out here, friends you have yet to meet. Best of luck to you. xx

    Hi Est

    Thanks so much for replying I'm definitely still in the confused stage but it helps you've took the time to message and I'll have a look at the book you recommended. I hope you're doing well.
