The Autism Service Directory may also be helpful in finding support for you.

I hope this helps and I am sure our community will welcome you and talk about their experiences as well.

Thanks Alice, I have looked at all the information but totally overwhelmed. I’m Diagnosed ADHD but according to the assessor I need to speak for an autism assessment and I have been non verbal for a lot of my life. My MP is over seeing my case as it makes absolutely no sense. My spoons are low which is also a contributing factor to fighting everything. I was hoping for understanding here in this forum as I’m hitting brick walls alone.
