Hi, Everyone,
I've recently been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism/Aspergers in my 40's and I'm wondering if there are support services or groups for people like me who are just about coping with life but could do with a little extra support? From what I can see online so far, the majority of the support is aimed toward children and parents and those with more severe learning or behavioural difficulties. I understand that these groups have the most acute challenges, but I'm wondering if there is anything in the community for those, like me, that are just about muddling along. Any help in finding any groups or support would be gratefully received. Thanks for reading.
Chris
Highly recommend not sharing your location with strangers over the internet.
I appreciate that but I also appreciate when it comes to asking for recommendations on certain groups / services it's very location specific. Take NAS itself. There is no NAS local branch within 50 miles of me. If I lived in London there would be 7.
I live in west yorkshire. Seems the further north you go the less well represented autism charities are.
