Good morning. 

Morning.

Thank you very much.

Welcome Neal. 

Hello. My name is Neal. I have suffered with autism all my life since I was born in 1986. I had a social worker since 2006 and a support worker from Mecap since 2009. My social worker was on maternity leave in 2011 then left permanently and the same can be said for my support worker who then left in 2017. I have been given no referral advice of getting a new support worker now and have been without one since 2017 and made the referral last year. They arranged Ealing Adult social service for a telephone appointment for an assessment. They spoke with Mencap and my application got denied because of my information being a load of old tosh. I hate myself for who I am now.

Thank you 

Welcome to our pod.

Good morning from America!

Welcome to the community. You’ll find that there’s a wide variety of different kinds of Autistics and that gather here. Parents of Autistics tend to buzz through here as well. Hopefully you feel some sense of community while you’re here, since there’s a strong chance there are others that have had similar experiences to yours!

Thank you so much for letting me join. 

Welcome

Hello there, and welcome to the online community!  It's great to have you here.  The community is a wonderfully welcoming place with a lot of different discussions to take part in - not just about autism itself! - and I'm sure you'll meet a lot of lovely people here.
