Recently Diagnosed

at the age of 64 1/2 I have been diagnosed as being on the Spectrum, a year ago I knew nothing of ASD.

As part of the diagnosis, it was suggested that I try to make contact with other people on the spectrum to learn from them.  I live in north Essex and would welcome guidance how to connect with people, any suggestions please???

  • Welcome to the family :) coming here is a good start, lots of people in the same boat to connect with. That's why I came here because I was so different to everyone else but here I'm understood and can be myself. I'm not sure because of Covid but I think there's autistic groups out there where you can meet others like you, not sure if there's any in Essex but it might be worth taking a look.
