So I clicked on this thread as I'm newly diagnosed and of a similar age myself. However, reading it I'm confused as to whether you're looking for support or questioning your diagnosis?
Both are valid questions, but if you don't accept the diagnosis, I'm struggling for how you would find support for it.
Honestly Joe, irrespective of whether you question or embrace a diagnosis, I do not believe there is any support for a late diagnosed adult. This is my understanding.
That must all be very traumatic and not the support you need at all!
In addition to keep engaging on here, I suggest you join a local autism support group. Google should help you find one, or maybe start a new thread and there might be folks on here that can point you to groups they know in the Manchester area.
It's sadly true that there are not a lot of resources available for people that have been diagnosed with Autims as an adult.
I have found some great podcasts and youtube channels and also read books on the topic.
