I'm Finding it more and more difficult to cope with my aspergers as I'm getting older I'm 27
I want help but every time i try to get it, it feels like the door is closed and im told there is nothing
anyone can do for it feels like there is no support for anyone my age who is finding it hard to cope
can anybody give me advise on who to talk to or call or see ?
thanks in advance
First off Tom, what area do you live in? So you can get the advice of people who live in roughly the same area. Support networks are a bit patchy across the country. I certainly know how you feel (as a senior ;-), but I'm not currently in the UK. Judging by the timing of your post, you are probably not sleeping so well, so in a different time zone I decided I should answer first. If you are still around, I'd advise you to give us a bit more information and then go back to sleep with the feeling that you have put some wheels in motion!. It is highly likely you will get some sound advice from UK residents a few hours from now. Time to relax, in the meantime! This forum will help!
Hi Senior Moment, I'm from Wales, Your not wrong about the sleeping then again i think thats just me i'm a bit of a night owl / Gamer
Hi again! Spent many years there myself; mostly in remote rural areas. and mining areas. I left because the isolation was getting too much for me. I returned there briefly two years ago for a diagnosis of Asperger's/ASD. I have also been diagnosed GAD. You might say that I'm a fairly keen observer of the difficulties for people living in both rural and urban areas. I'm still quite isolated here, though living in a city.. I have largely learned to live a fairly solitary life, but I cannot really recommend it. ;-)
I've read a few of the posts, and reckon a lot of their advice will be far more relevant than anything I can say, as I'm on the other side of the World.
But if you want to send me a few PMs while you are on the night shift, they will probably get pretty swift attention. I might have some info of use to you, depending on your location. I don't really like placing support group links on this forum, because I suspect NAS don't really much appreciate personal endorsements; except those on their own website. But I will just briefly say that there will likely be some younger participants who might have similar interests to your own. Also i still have a few possible informants.
