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,

    I have found the Late Discovered Podcast really helpful in hearing other voices who discovered later on in life that they are autistic. Some are officially diagnosed, some are self-diagnosed but the podcast speaks to women across a broad spectrum of life. I have found it really comforting hearing their stories as well as their successes. There is also a book written by the Late Discovered podcast host called: 'Rediscovered' by Catherina Asta which I found a good read as well. I can't help with any advice or support as it seems hard to come by/find.
