Getting an autism diagnosis as a young adult can be a moment of huge significance. It can feel like finally getting answers to questions about yourself, or feelings of difference from others. But an autism diagnosis can also raise many more questions that need answering and information is hard to come by.
That’s why Ambitious about Autism’s Youth Network, which connects young people aged 14-25 with other autistic young people on an online platform, have created their own resources to help young people understand their diagnosis.
“Our collection of videos and blogs, all written or featuring autistic young people themselves, explain diagnosis, autistic identity and everything that surrounds it. We have divided the videos based on different experiences – getting diagnosed as a child, as a teenager and as an adult. We hope that there will be an experience that resonates with everyone, wherever you are on your journey.”
