Hi Jonathan - welcome to the NAS forums. Please feel free to join in any conversation. I don't know where to start on ASD/Autism, but the NAS seems to suggest starting here: http://www.autism.org.uk/about.aspx We also get a few book recommendations mentioned here: Tony Attwood often comes up.

What led you to get diagnosed?

I don't know much about groups in Northern Ireland. Most but not all NAS branches are more for parents of autistic children. http://www.autism.org.uk/services/local/northern-ireland.aspx Seems to be most going on for autistic adults around Cookstown area: http://www.autism.org.uk/services/community/group/northern-ireland.aspx

These two look most promising:
