  • One of the most important things I would say is be kind to yourself. This is a lot to take in and you are different but that's a good thing, it's what makes you who you are. Another important thing here is to give yourself time. It's only been a year but it can take a long time to process being diagnosed and it can be a mix of emotions during this time. It's good that you're feeling ready to accept your autism and I have no doubt you will but you need to know that it won't be an overnight thing.

    I would also suggest you to stay here or check out other autism communities. That's what I did and it was a real eye opener for me as I saw a lot of people had same experiences as me and I also picked up a lot of advice for different things. Though it doesn't seem like it there are actually so many of us in the same boat. I only joined this community yesterday but I'm already finding it a supportive and friendly environment to be.

    Take care and be kind to yourself.
