Hope these threads are still being read as they are quite out of date, I am doing this on behalf of my 18 year old son as their is little support in our area of Tyne and Wear for Asperger’s and high functioning autism and I am just wondering if there are any males between 16 and 21 wanting to make friends or to socialise with my son, we have family in South Yorkshire and visit regularly so anyone from this area would be great also.
I’m afraid to say that Support for people with high functioning autism or Asperger’s is pretty rare everywhere. there are a few young people here but most don’t seem to stick around for long. Perhaps because this place already has a older established demographic.
Support for autistic adults is hard to come by. This forum is the only good resource I have found. I do feel bad for the younger members I feel there should be a section for them here where they can mix and support each other.
