Hi,
I'm getting nagged for spending too much time on You Tube and not enough time trying to make friends.
I enjoy music, going to the cinema and pop concerts and am now getting ready to enter the big wide world of work. Any advice/ social chat appreciated (will keep mum happy)
Thanks :)
That's great Best of luck with the job hunt - hope it goes well.
Hi :)
hi and iam thinking maybe working in a primary school :)
Hi! Welcome to the forum. Your intro made me smile :)
I'm 25 and awaiting diagnosis. I also enjoy music, the cinema and concerts, although I don't go to the cinema very often anymore.
What type of job/career are you hoping to get into?
Thank you I will for sure check this out
Hi, as well as the groups that Bagpuss7 has helpfully listed, some others are:
-British Women and Non binary Autistics - ASD ASCs and Aspergers
-Autistic Women in the UK
-Creative Aspie Women (I don’t think this is UK based but it is good if you make any craft and want to show it off to your fellow Aspies :-))
- Asperger Syndrome Awareness (not specific to the uk and open to all genders and parents as well as Aspies BUT it does have a very large following)
I think I belong to far too many Facebook groups
All these groups can be found using the search function at the top of your Facebook home page. They frequently have posts asking where in the UK everyone is from and it is common to see meet ups arranged and details of ‘unofficial’ social groups such as my own group, shared. Good luck!
Was just about to do a list. You beat me to it
I did a search for groups with aspergers/autism and then picked a few I thought sounded ok. Some I've styed a member of, some I haven't
Some common ones are:
aspie girl: a closed encounter
Women with Autism/Aspergers UK Support Group
British Female Aspergers/Autistic Support Circle - UK Original
Asperger's and Autism for adults UK
Aspergers UK
hello and welcome!
Really I like a bit of all music. I have a taste similar to my Mum and older brother.
HI, I would like to work with small children - I've done work placements in nursery and infants, but am finding it hard to get a full time job.
What sort of music do you like? I listen to the charts and like pop and I go to the cinema on a weekly basis - get lots of use out of my Unlimited card
Hi, Thank you for this - please can you tell me how I would go about finding groups on Facebook? Finding some friends locally would be good - though a bit scary to begin with x
Hello and welcome to the forum! I’m a 39 year old woman with 3 daughters (22, 5 and 2). Are you on Facebook? There are a number of ‘closed’ or ‘private’ women only Facebook groups for women with autism/Aspergers. These might be a better way for you to make friends and also find other autistic women your own age that live near you. This is how I started my social group that I run locally for autistic women, probably about half of my members came from one such group.
Hello and welcome to the forum! I have been diagnosed with Level 2 ASD. Feel free to ask any questions and read my profile. I'm sure that you will meet plenty of people like yourself. I have certainly come across plenty of people like me.
I too am an internet addict, I also enjoy music and going to the cinema (When I can).
What is your dream career? I am currently undertaking a temporary voluntary position with the IT department at my local council.
Welcome, you'll find a lot of friendly chat here.How are you getting ready to work? Please tell us.
Hello and welcome!
You'll find plenty of friendly people on here, which should satisfy your mum, but hopefully you'll quite enjoy our company too. :)
What kind of work would you like to do?
