When a parent's autism diagnosis coincides with their child's

My teenage son was just diagnosed with autism and I'm realizing I probably am too - so many things about my childhood and how I've always felt suddenly make sense. But now we're both trying to figure ourselves out at the same time and I don't know how to be the parent he needs when I'm still learning what I need.
