Welcome to the area of the Community that deals with living with autism.
Here you'll be able to create and reply to discussions about the day to day reality of living with autism. If you want to share how things are going for you or ask about anything that's going on in your life, please feel free to start a message here. Other members of the Community will then be able to support you and see if their experiences of similar situations can help.

If you have any problems replying to messages or starting your own then please see our help pages.
We also have a department on the website that looks at living with autism. You'll find information covering education, work, day-to-day experiences (like shopping and holidays) and benefits that may be available to help you.
Our real life stories are an interesting read for anyone living with autism. They show different perspectives of people on the spectrum, parents, partners and siblings.
Our Autism helpline is also available if you need to call. Tel: 0808 800 4104 (Mon-Fri, 10am - 4pm). This number is free from landlines and most mobiles.
