Understanding Yourself

Would you like to understand yourself better?

If you’re wondering if you may be autistic or have other neurodivergent traits, you can get help for exploring what that means and what steps you might want to take next from several places.

At Point A, we can direct you to various sources of help for exploring a wide range of issues including:

  • Coming to terms with a diagnosis when you’re an adult
  • Love and Relationships

An autism assessment might be one of the first steps you decide to take. You can find more information about getting an assessment on the NHS site here.

For more information on services in the region that can help you to understand yourself better, browse our posts on living independently:
