Finding other adult diagnosed females

#SorryNotSorry
over 3 years ago

I was wondering if anyone is in any Facebook or private groups with females who have been diagnosed as adults?

I'm newly diagnosed aged 38.  

It would be lovely to share insights/experiences and be able to learn some coping mechanisms. 

I don't really have anyone else to speak to who understands even just silly day to day stuff. 

Thanks

    I usually go to my local female autism group run by the National Autistic Society. I know groups can't meet at the moment though, It's been very usefull for me. maybe try looking in the future

    Hi Zatanna, 

    Could you please tell me where to find the information about these groups, I'm finding it difficult to locate it. I am hoping to go to a social group when I can.

    Many thanks.

    Hi Oscie,

    I found the infomation hard to find too, try this link https://www.autism.org.uk/services/community/group/england.aspx

    for problems with this directory@nas.org.uk

    Try emailing the faciltator for your nearest county, there might not be a female group for each county, they might be mixed groups.

    I'm currently taking part in live zoom meetings with my local group, we're doing quiz nights which are fun. a couple of new members have joined our meetings recently, so maybe it's possible for you to join a local meeting too Relaxed

    Hope this helps
