Hi, was diagnosed with ASD last week. Can someone tell me some things about it?

Hi Euan! Welcome to Scope's online community! 

Getting a new diagnosis can always leave you with a lot more questions than answers- I was the same when I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia!

I'm going to attach a few links I think you'd find useful:

There's a scope information page on ASD (autistic Spectrum Disorder) :
https://www.scope.org.uk/support/families/diagnosis/autism

And an ASD discussion page that you can post in here, if you want any advice or support:
https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/learning-disabilities-and-autism

I hope this helps- if you have any more queries, or want to chat, feel free to message!

Becca

Hi @Euan:

Welcome to the Community!

In addition to the links that Becca mentioned and the information that Danny provided, there are some other resources here on the Community, that might be helpful including an Ask an ASD Advisor section and an Educational psychologist.

You should find some good discussions and information here,

Let us know if you need anything.

It's great to have you here!
