Support groups

Very few in my area of the country.

There is one that meets once a month at a library but I didn't find it that useful. My autistic traits seemed more prominent for a few days after a meeting so I stopped going. It's not regular due to the person organising it having other work and personal commitments.

When I was under adult mental health services (or my region's excuse for it anyway,) they wanted me to go to group therapy. I declined as I don't do groups of strangers, and would find that kind of environment competitive as if it was an unspoken challenge of who can be the illest.

I've found that although groups say they're for adults, what they seem to mean is people who've just come out of education or childrens services. Thats great but it dosen't fulfil my needs as an older person, I wonder how many people's needs are fulfilled?

I would like to meet people around my own age to do things with, or who would at least understand why I don't do things. It would be good to have some mutual support. But my guess is that because I don't do tech very well I would still struggle, but maybe there would be someone who would understand and be able to help me?
