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!!

  • I am 56 aand got my diagnosis 2 weeks ago. am I surprised? No. Several of you habe brought up important points ; imposter syndrome, the mixture of sadness and reliefr, a list of possible avenues ( vestibular sense etc ..). What i take away from your posts is that diagnosis is the first step. I look foward to reading you all and learning from you. Best wishes to you all, wherever you may be on life's pathway!!
