Hi new to site and would like to connect with others in NI. Sat accidently beside another person with autism at a works "do" today, and it took a lot to get myself there..... what a difference, what a positive experience and I would appreciate meeting others if anyone feels the same it would be good to hear from you.
Hi Janet, I’m in Northern Ireland too. I’ve only just joined here.
Hi Zoe never knew this existed. Hope you getting on okay
Me neither. I only read about it in the email today. What part of NI are you in?
Although *too*!tentative and no momentum is established. It’s a question of balance I suppose. I just remembered that I’d look into how to become an admin on the Twitter thing so I will try to figure that out.
I just tweeted in the circle after a longer than intended break due to feeling wretched to be honest. I wonder if the WhatsApp is worth considering again. The circle is private I know but 140 characters can be an issue for me (even if at times a good discipline) and a meaningful conversation when we’re individually at our lowest might more organically flow in a WhatsApp group. I’ll persevere with Twitter for now as i deeply appreciate Propurple setting something up there. This thread deserves a bump too, see if anyone else finds it a helpful beacon for fostering some tentative local networking and support.
Never mind, all sorted now thanks
Hi I joined up on Twitter and found the group but can’t work out how to ask to join the circle. It’s probably really obvious and I’m being embarrassingly rubbish with technical stuff as per. Any help appreciated!
Oh that’s clever, I’d definitely be more comfortable that way. A circle of trust!
That's understandable, there is a new feature called twitter circles, only people in the circle can view the posted tweets, any one who joins will be put into the circle, it holds up to 150 peopleo I think we'll be okay.
