Autistic Not Weird - can't believe I haven't seen this till today

I've only read a fraction of what's on that site - but what I've seen so far is like looking in a mirror. Brilliant stuff, cheered me up today and made me feel more valid and recognised.

  • No worries!

    I started the group after I got diagnosed at the end of last year and realised that there is really not many support/social groups out there for adult diagnosed autistics!

    We have a main group meet up once a month where we do crafts or have talks about autism related issues. We're starting a mid month coffee link group from January and we even have a group trip to the zoo planned for February. The facebook group page is largely to 'gel' the members together as well as discuss relevant issues and let everyone know what is happening in the group.

  • Ah thank you , I'm using a phone so that might be why I've not seen the option display it self for the friend requests option . 

    It's cool that you run a page for women with autism I hope it helps them and you alot. 

    Thanks again

  • When I said group page, I meant the group page of the group that I run locally for Autistic women.
