Not just children suffer

AnneMargaret

I understand i may offend a few people with what i say but i assure you it is not intended. I just want to say it is not only children that have Autism. If they are diagnosed as a child then they appear to have much more help and support. EG specialist schools. Some people are not diagnosed until they are way into their adult life. They have had to struggle with their feelings all their life with no one knowing what's wrong and blaming them for the way they act. I wish there was more support and awareness for adults with problems too.

Sorry if i upset anyone.

  • Do you have a local Autism charity in your area? I get support through my local charity, which is independent of the NAS. If you do, you could contact them and ask how you get onto their waiting list or you can contact social services and ask for an assessment.

    My support worker helps me to get over my anxieties and phobias. She goes on outings with me on the train and bus, and she helps me in the home with skills such as cooking and dealing with rubbish. She also helps me find voluntary work.
