Newly officially diagnosed but suspected for a long time. Now comes the point where I actually could get help for my hidden disability but I would like to know which organisations that people visit for pleasure like galleries, museum, historic buildings etc are friendly towards autistic adults. For example my experience in The National Trust has often been negative. I do not drive, the anxiety and thought processing is too overwhelming. I always travel with a rucksack so I can carry all of my the things for the whole day like, like food, medicines, phone charger, hairbrush yada yada yada. They don’t seem to appreciate any of this and only like car drivers with small handbags.
Hello,
I was a volunteer at at NT property and we asked people to leave large bags in a safe place while walking around due to the risk of damage. I do like to visit London a lot and there are many venues which offer quiet opening hours for neuro diverse visitors so there are opportunities. Please do look up quiet opening hours.
Thing is that I leave London a few times a year and everything is more rural with people driving more.
