Depending on how things go I’m either going to move soon or not. If not … well I already know there is nothing for high functioning autistic adults where I live. If I do move I’ll be in a new place and there is a good chance there will still be no social groups for high functioning autistic adults there either. Plus there will be no support network of family etc if I move.
so they say be the change you want to see. Can anyone advise me on the logistics of setting up a support / social group of high functioning autistic adults?
i imagine the big issues will be resources. Especially getting a venue and putting out PR. Has anyone done anything like this and could lend some pointers?
Kind of understand what you want but Asperger and high functioning gives me a red flag straight away, so that seems more of an issue than a venue. Needs to be more inclusive.
Commonality, ease of communication and shared experience are undeniably important to successful and rewarding bonding with others. This might be uncomfortable, but it is a fact.
Respectfully no. I’m already in ‘a more inclusive group’ and it’s simply impossible for me to make meaningful connections with the others there.
