The Autism Show, the national event for autism, in partnership with the National Autistic Society?

I see that the above events will be coming to 3 big cities in the UK soon.

I'm kind of half thinking about going. It might be a good opportunity to meet people and to find things out. On the other hand, this kind of event freaks me out, with the whole 'social networking' thing and busy, crowded, hectic places really stress me out and make me anxious.

So the whole thing is kind of appealing and off-putting at the same time, and leaves me pretty conflicted just thinking about it!

Has anybody been and what did you think if so? Is anyone planning on going to any of the events this year?

  • Not been but got my ticket for the NEC on June 24th.

    They do have a queue fast track if you're nervous and a quiet room, if anything becomes overwhelming.

    I got a programme in the post today, some of the lectures look fab.

    You of course don't have to 'social network's with anyone if you don't want. Attend whatever lectures you want, chill when you want, speak or not speak as you choose. Hey, at the end of the day, we'll all be autistic there. We'll all 'get' it.

    I'm looking forward to it.
