I'm Autistic, Now What?

About

I’m a 29 year old late-diagnosed autistic (& ADHD) woman from the UK. Without YouTube, I never would’ve discovered that I am autistic. So now I’m returning the favour! I want to share videos that will help others discover their own neurodivergence and also videos about what to do post this new self-discovery. Post-diagnosis support for autistic adults is scarce. You’re autistic, which is great information to have, but…now what? Is there medication you could take? Is your career right for someone like you? Should you go self-employed? How do you tell your parents? Your employer? And what do you do if they don’t take you seriously? Basically...how can you use this knowledge to create a life that really emphasises your strengths and minimises your struggles? I’m still figuring it out! Let’s learn together ♥️ Love, Meg x
