Struggling

Hi, im late diagnosed autistic and i moved area, to a supported environment, however, there is noone that i feel comfortable being close friends with.   Im really at a loss at the moment.   Im past middle age and im not sure what to share here.    Im feeling stressed.    Ive tried talking to a support worker but i think they are writing it off as a mental health issue but i disagree.   Theres no links to organisations connected to neurodivergence.

I hope to chat with others on the forum and learn more about things that are helpful.   Thank you for taking the time to respond if youre able to reply or share any thoughts.

    I'm sorry you are feeling stressed and at a loss at the moment. You are not alone in feeling that way. Many of our members are in their 50s, 60s and older. It's not always easy for older adults to find appropriate support in their area but I'm glad that you have connected with members here.
     
    I think the links you refer to are the resources on this website. Just in case you haven't come across the Autism Services Directory, it may be worth checking out.
    It's lovely to have you with us.
    Best wishes.
