Coming soon: A new and exciting Pre-Neuro service in South Tyneside!
Newly diagnosed autistic?
Welcome to the next chapter
Receiving an autism diagnosis can bring many different emotions. You may feel relieved, confused, excited, overwhelmed, validated, or all of these at once.
Whatever you're feeling right now, you're not alone.
At Autism In Mind (AIM), we are commissioned by the NHS to provide post-diagnostic support for autistic adults living in North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside and Sunderland.
Our free service is here to help you understand yourself, build confidence, connect with others, and move forward in a way that works for you.
Your diagnosis is just the beginning.
What is post diagnostic support?
Being diagnosed autistic doesn't come with an instruction manual.
Many people tell us they spent years wondering why they felt different or struggled in certain situations. A diagnosis can provide answers, but it can also raise new questions.
Our post-diagnostic support helps you:
- Understand what autism means for you
- Recognise your strengths
- Learn strategies for daily life
- Build self-confidence and self-advocacy skills
- Meet other autistic adults
- Access additional services and support
- Improve your wellbeing
We're here to help you make sense of your diagnosis and feel more confident being yourself.
