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!!

  • Hello. 

    I was diagnosed in October last year with ASD. I'm 52.

    I have a supportive wife and a few supportive friends, which is brilliant. 

    Personally I've found books by Dr Megan Neff helpful and surprisingly ChatGPT.

    I find a mixture of sadness and relief around my diagnosis. 

    I'm still processing and reflecting on it.

    Probably try and reflect on your life and what you need now. 

    Take care
