Hello everyone my name is James
I have been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. I am 41 years old from the North of Scotland. I have been reallly struggling to meet and find support groups in my area and meet people like myself who are on the ASD. I tend to isolate and avoid sicial situations which makes my mental health worse. I have very few friends if any at the moment who i can turn too and family a considerable distance away. So i found myself isolated and depressed lonely at times. So I am on here to meet and make new friends male or female.
Hi AspergersCammy,
Sorry to hear that you are finding it difficult to find support and meet people like yourself.
Have you tried searching for social and support groups in your area on the Autism Services Directory?
www.autism.org.uk/.../autism-services-directory.aspx
Sometimes it takes a while for the Community to respond, but there are lots of really supportive and interesting members so stick with it.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Kerri-Mod
