Single adults autism / aspergers' with no children

cloud

Hi, I have Autism & not moaning about someone else with autism

Im an adult with autism, due to my inability to form relationships, i would like to find other people who acually have the condition, and not parents complaining about their child, because it's something i totally can't relate to, being unable to form such relationships.

What i'm looking for is adults with autism, and aspergers syndrome, and how it is for them, and not a parent of a child with autism. 

I'm interested in discussing day to day living, and hobbies, and what you do to manage your health, basic things mostly

What social challenges did you have to deal with in your younger years, that you have now overcome as an adult?

    Welcome to the forum,

    There are a few of us on the forum in similar but not not identical situations to yourself (we are all somewhat unique in my opinion) so you will get a variety of opinions on any question you want to ask. Check out our user profiles to see who is who or look at our postings to see what we have to say.

    In addition to this forum, there are local adult autistic social groups. I haven't been along to one of those but have found that there is a very good and active nhs autism support service that is local to me that provides advice and assistance for anyone (adults and parents/children) that has a diagnosis (even a private one!). Do you know if there is something like that in your area?

    Like longman, I've had bullying issues over the years from school through to employment. I've also had lots of disputes and confrontations which have arisen from my misunderstandings or from me being too trusting of others. I think there is a lot to be positive about as we can learn to get by with our condition. Like Longman, I know that it is senseless to try and cure or fix the condition but there are things you can do to have a better life.

    :-)
