Autism and co-morbid conditions

LJ51125

Hi, I’m new here and feel a bit nervous about posting. I have recently been diagnosed with Autism, C-PTSD and am suspected of also having EUPD. 

Although a lot of the symptoms overlap I have had some unique ones between the 3 conditions. There is so much I don’t understand and a lot to try and take in (I’m awful at trying to retain information).

I’m having a difficult time processing it. I feel lost and don’t honestly know where to begin trying to get my head around it. I was curious if anyone here with co-occuring conditions felt the same way or had any potential helpful tips on how to process it please?

  • Hi L.J., welcome.

    With so much new information being presented to you around your diagnosis (multiple) and with overlapping symptoms too - why not think about one topic at a time, explore it for a while, then move onto the next topic.

    For example, if you were to start with one topic - perhaps "anxiety / social anxiety"?; you could then read the National Autistic Society guidance on the topic, have a think about what you read, then discuss your thoughts with your healthcare professional (if you feel you would benefit from their support with a specific aspect of the topic):

    Thank you for your warm welcome. It is a pleasure to meet you.

    Your suggestion is greatly appreciated and I really appreciate it. I am trying to learn about the condition but have much to explore. The topics on here certainly help to break things down, I have read a couple. I’m sure the link will be invaluable so thanks for sharing.
