Help! Are there any women in this Community with ASD

http://www.autism.org.uk/professionals/conferences/women-and-girls/speakers.aspx

I was just browsing looking for inspiration. I thought others might be interested in this. I thought even if I didn't attend I could look up the work of the key speakers and topics. Also going to look to see what the online training is. 

I'd love to go but it's just too far away! 

Hello Limegreenwelly.. good to hear you. I was just reading back and wondered if you had had your assessment and how you got on? Also though I wouldn't participate in Facebook I am curious to know about the groups you joined.. what are they like and have you found what you were looking for in a forum/group? I saw one that looked really good "autism women's network " I think it was called , if I remember rightly its Australian. 

limegreenwellyJust found this.. mentions a group called "mum's on the spectrum " might be helpful

Glad you are finding a variety of resources for your search and that the mental health nurse was supportive. The process does make did make me question whether I was making it up but the "funny" thing was that I knew the reasoning wasn't right for the first assessment. So if at first you don't "succeed" don't be afraid to get a second opinion if you can face it and circumstances allow. Hope it wouldn't come to that. I think that thought is not uncommon. Thank you for the info re the groups. Nice to have you back for a little while
