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?
Practical advice.
Send me a PM saying what areas you could meet for a coffee. No need to share bra sizes or what have you...just a vague geographical area. I'm mobile and I travel.
Send other people a PM as above. Send as many as you dare.
See what happens when you shake the tree - in my experience, somethings always fall out.
I'm not a fan of group settings. I think that is pretty universal for folk like me.....but one-on-one can be glorious - or horrific (obviously)....but from these pages, you can at least get an indication of what you might expect to encounter.
