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?
I was wondering you had considered an online Teams or similar meet up with members here?
No offence but I find online a lot less … it’s just not something I click with.
Noted & accepted.
Zoom is a good media to share a film in...
Zoom, Teams or anything similar is horrific to me = another "environment" where I must learn a whole new set of acceptable behaviours and appropriate means through which to interact.....but without a whole range of feedback metrics. It's not for me, for any purpose.
I did wonder ... it's just practically so much simpler but online will lack in some areas of social interaction. I get very anxious meeting people so for me online is preferable.
All the best with this.
