Are you asking a bout zoom and teams groups? If so there is very little. NAS shoukd be doing something but won't. The best so far has been "Grow Confidence in Autism" which is run by Greater Manchester Autism Consortium but which is open to anyone. Go to Eventbrite and do a search. Grow Confidence in your Autism. I have copied the link below.

Otherwise I have ended up on zoom groups for Autistic Parents and one from ForMen to Talk Autism.

Why NAS can't do this is beyond me!!!!!

That's kind Oran. It's awful to feel ignored on here as well as out there. 

Sometimes I'll see a post with no replies, and respond just to let the other person feel heard. I wish the notification system was better so it would be easier to engage with discussions.

I agree with Bunny. This forum already is that for me. You can ask questions, seek advice or just vent.

Hi and welcome to the community!

I feel that, for many of us, this forum actually works rather well for much the same purpose. It also includes the option - as, over time, you become more familiar with others, and they with you - of becoming "friends" with other users (subject to both parties agreeing) and exchanging private messages.

Most importantly, this forum provides us with access to all of its features whilst also protecting our identities and other personal information.

If you were to go ahead with anything different, please do keep in mind the words of warning in this community's rules:

" people may wish to arrange to meet in person or contact one another by other means. In these cases please take the utmost care, and ensure that others are aware for your own protection. "
