Autism in Britain and Germany

Thank you very much for your insightful and detailed 
posts and I will try to reply as soon as possible. 
But first some information about me:
I was diagnosed in 2008 in connection with my move to
 Berlin. As you can imagine, the road to get there 
was extremely difficult.
Due to various health and private problems, however, 
I had not dealt with the subject for a long time. At 
the beginning of this year I wanted to visit a 
self-help group again after a long time. However, 
because of the Corona rules, this was not possible 
and so I came up with the idea of ​​founding my own.
 Then things took on a certain momentum of their own 
and I made the decision to get involved beyond that. 
In this context, it is of course also interesting to 
see how the situation is in other countries.

For example, I am a member of the association aspies 
e.V. (aspies.de), which was founded by autistic
 people without the participation of neurotypica
 people. Is there a similar club in the UK?
Although I suspect that aid is better organized in 
Anglo-American countries, I don't think you have a 
project comparable to ASL:
The Autism Research Cooperation (AFK) is an 
association of autistic people and autism scientists 
from the Humboldt University in Berlin. The aim of 
the AFK, which has existed since 2007, is for the 
first time to jointly research questions that are 
relevant from the perspective of autistic adults.
Our research results should contribute in the long 
term to improving the quality of life of people on 
the autism spectrum.

And there would certainly be various other topics 
that could be discussed.
