Where do people like me, meet people like me.

I know this may seem like a dumb question. When an ex-colleague, and then my GP mentioned autism, the first thing I did was try to find some kind of support groups that met up in person. I couldn't seem to find any. Is it something that doesn't happen, or am I not looking hard enough. I think talking in person to people in the same situation might be beneficial. Thanks for your time.

  • There are a lot of support groups for autistic people around the country.

    You might be able to find one nearby via your local NAS branch (either operated by the branch itself, or by others that they can refer you to) and/or via the NAS's own services directory:

    NAS - Branches

    NAS - Autism Services Directory (search using your postcode, rather than your city / town / village / etc).

    It's also worth searching on Facebook for any local autism support groups, which might also offer physical meetups.
