Hi everyone
This is the only online forum for autistic adults I belong to at the moment.
It would be interesting to know your experiences of using other online forums or support groups:
Here are a few I have found:
Aspie Village https://aspievillage.uk UK-based social group for adults with Asperger syndrome and similar conditions
Autistic Rights Group Highlands http://www.arghighland.co.uk Group run by and for autistic adults
Autistic UK http://www.autisticrightsmovementuk.org group which campaigns to advance the interests of autistic people and those with ‘related conditions’
Autscape http://www.autscape.org online conference specifically by and for autistic people
Wrong Planet Web https://wrongplanet.net community designed for individuals with autism, Asperger's syndrome, AD(H)D, PDDs, and other neurological differences.
I am sure there are lots more, including Facebook groups.
Hi Sunflower,
I tried Wrong Planet, but didn't get on with it. Apart from here, I also use a couple of groups on Facebook: 'Asperger's Syndrome Awareness' and 'Adults with Asperger's Syndrome 2' (not sure what became of 1!). They're quite good - and, of course, worldwide. Some very supportive people on there. I also belong to 'Asperger Island' on Facebook, but that tends to be a little juvenile. I was in 'Just Aspies, Please', but left that as some of the commenters could be a bit harsh. Might have been trolls, though. There are a couple of other groups I've tried, but the ones I mentioned seem to be the best.
I still come here out of preference, though. It's a smaller community, which I like.
Thanks! Was wondering what others were out there as I know some people are on multiple forums.
