I'm scared about starting occupational therapy. Does anyone know what I should expect?

A lot of it is about practical strategies you can use to help whatever you’re struggling with, and learning new ways to cope. Tbh I hardly remember what it was like (that time of my life is a massive blur that I would rather forget anyway) but I think I did find talking to the lady helpful.

Is there anything which you are finding particularly difficult at the moment that you would like to explore with them? When I was young, I saw an occupational therapist (and am autistic) and for me this was about tools for writing and using cutlery. However, they would not be the same tools I need today!
