What You Will Learn


Chapter 1 is "Understanding your Diagnosis", where we look at your diagnosis, explaining what autism is, the advantages and disadvantages of being on the spectrum and we have two activities to help you understand yourself as "autistics".


Chapter 2 is "Autistic Friends and Your Tribe" and we explore the importance and way to make connections with other autistics.


Chapter 3 is called "Living Your Authentic Autistic Life" and this chapter looks at self love, confidence and how to live your authentic life as an autistic person.


Finally, we end with "Resources", where we offer a list of helpful organizations that may provide you support, social connection and more information about autism.  

You will see we have added in some ideas for those living in Australia, Canada, UK and USA.  


We hope "Newly Diagnosed: Autism" is valuable for you!

Course reviews

“Getting diagnosed with autism was really confronting for me - would i be know to everyone as "disabled" or "wrong"? But when i found out about this course through my college, i was glad that i am with this diagnosis. It's not something i should hide or be embarassed about. I'm just different to other people, and i like how i was given lots of information and resources so i can find my "tribe" and learn to love my autistic me more. ”

Anna Gregory

“I liked the activity on masking. It made me think about how its not just autistics who need to mask - other minorities experience that kind of marginalisation every day. There were a lot of references which could seem like a bad point for some, but for me, it was great to see a course with some evidence behind it and I could keep reading after I had finished the course too.”

E.

“The resources at the end were helpful. The videos for what it feels like also good.”
