Adult looking for support

super-meg

Hiya just wondering what support other autistic adults have in term apart from friends/family. Struggling with my mental health. What some people would call a functioning person with aspergers and finding so much support for parents/young children!!

  • Listening services such as calm helpline and the webchat are good to clear up anything that is bothering you. Otherwise there isn't much out there. Ive spoken to others but they get fed up with the problems going round and round constantly. Which is indeed part of the problem.

    I am very similar, I get help from family and friends but in the lockdown I can see they have their own issues and don't want to unload on them too much. 

    Finally I think getting enough sleep is probably more important for us on the spectrum than NTs. I feel so much better when I've caught up on sleep.
