Post Diagnostic Support Service (PDSS)

Post Diagnostic Support Service (PDSS)

Post-Diagnosis Support Service (PDSS) for autistic adults is essential to help them navigate challenges, improve their quality of life, and foster independence. Receiving a diagnosis later in life, can be a significant turning point, often bringing clarity but also uncertainty about the future. The right support, tailored to the individual needs, can empower autistic adults to manage everyday life, social situations, employment, and their own mental health and wellbeing.

PDSS, for autistic adults is diverse, focusing on emotional well-being, promoting independence, and community inclusion. With the right support, autistic adults can better understand their own needs, advocate for themselves, and thrive in various areas of life, from employment to relationships and independent living. This support not only improves their quality of life but also fosters empowerment and long-term success.
