DISCLAIMER: I'M NO MEDICAL DOCTOR, SO IF YOU SEE ANY SIGNS/SYMPTOMS, PLEASE SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE OR A SECOND OPINION -
SOME TOPICS I'LL BE SHARING ARE BASED ON MY LIVED EXPERIENCES

This is the first part of the series based on the title as shared above. This one is covering the topic of getting support.

It's a given that when we get diagnosed that many children will seek medical assistance and that ideally it's known that autism is diagnosed by when a child is 18 months old. However, it's not unusual to be diagnosed with autism as a teenager or an adult.
This is particularly common with middle-aged adults who come of age before mental health professionals understood and accepted the autistic spectrum. If you've been diagnosed with autism at a late age, it can take some time for you to wrap your head around the diagnosis. Once you understand more
about your diagnosis, it can be liberating and exciting to learn the reasons behind some of your behaviors and explore the welcoming and supportive community of autistic people.

Here I am today, going to share with you all some tips and advice about this topic for you or your loved one that has autism so that we can together understand each other more. We are more than just having autism. There will be three parts of this yet will hope to try and keep it as short as possible. Let's begin,
shall we?


Thanks for watching and for your support!
