Newly diagnosed and seeking advice

NAS92533

I've recently, as a mid-twenties woman, been diagnosed with autism. Although it feels like a part of me has finally been recognised I have been masking my whole life and now I feel a little lost and confused. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice about resources and next steps for someone like me to feel a bit more comfortable with the diagnosis?

  • Me too (but 60-year old man).   Just diagnosed and want to know what to do with that information and how to understand my own autism better.  There surely must be a page here addressing that question, but all I can find here is a page about benefits and accommodation in education and employment.  Useful, but nothing on getting mental health care or support.
