Hello everyone,
I live in Buckinghamshire. Got my autism diagnosis from the NHS in 2014 and I got an adapting to the workplace course at the National Autistic Society thanks to Berkeley Homes where I got a work placement.
Looking forward to finding out and understanding more about autism.
I do. Thank you.
Welcome! Hope you feel at home here.
The work placement at Berkeley Homes between 2016-17 was one of the best times of my life.
Hello Billy
Im a member of that too
I am a member of Autism Buckinghamshire so we aim to cover the county.
Thank you. I was educated in Hertfordshire for secondary education so it's not the edge of the world. It did seem like another country when I was a teenager when it's really close.
Hi, welcome to the group. I have lived in Bucks for over 50 years. I’m moving soon about 5 miles, I will then be just into Herts. That’s surely the edge of the world?
Ah thats a bit far from me, I am the other side of Bucks
I do. Thank you. Berkeley Homes used to have an office at Farnham Common. They've closed that one and their Thames Valley office is in Taplow.
Hello, I am also from Buckinghamshire. I havnt heard of the Berkley Homes, that sounds good
Hope you feel at home here
You are very welcome.
Thanks. Peer support groups have really helped me.
Thank you.
Hi, welcome, that's the best way but also understand yourself more/better and connect with autistic people here or elsewhere.
welcome
and happy hunting
