Could you actually have Dyspraxia (DCD)?
I'm Autistic, Now What?
View ChannelAbout
Iβm a 29 year old late-diagnosed autistic (& ADHD) woman from the UK. Without YouTube, I never wouldβve discovered that I am autistic. So now Iβm 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. Youβre autistic, which is great information to have, butβ¦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 donβt take you seriously? Basically...how can you use this knowledge to create a life that really emphasises your strengths and minimises your struggles? Iβm still figuring it out! Letβs learn together β₯οΈ Love, Meg x
