Hello

Hi

I'm Ryan, I'm 19 years old, and I have Aspergers Syndrome, as well as ADHD. 

I'm currently at university, I'm in my second year of studying Law at Queen's University Belfast. I live at home, with my mum and dad, and my sister, who is 17.

I write a blog about what its like living with Autism/Aspergers Syndrome from an everyday perspective.  It's called www.whatsitliketolivewithautism.com

I also started a group, called Holding Out a Hand, which is to help raise awareness of Autism and Aspergers Syndrome among teenagers and young adults, and to provide advice and support for those diagnosed with the condition.

Not really sure what else to say!

  • Hi Ryan.  Congratulations on getting to uni and starting a blog to raise awareness.  I'll pass on your blog details to my sons.  My eldest is planning to go to uni in a couple of years and I would welcome your views on choosing the right uni.  I was told by his school that he would not get any additional help at uni.  Have you found this to be the case?  Also if you had to do the whole choosing uni process again, what would you have wanted to know then that you didn't  think of asking at the time.  the sort of "If I had known.." that would have either made you think twice about going to the uni or would have made the decision process more straightforward.
