Has any adult here and on the spectrum recieved any direct help at all from NAS ?

I mean direct help - not just advise or directing to other places.

  • I would have thought in helping adults, they would be studying the brain in various tests just as they are experimenting with chemicals to synthesize a cure for diseases. They can't do much help for adults apart from the education side of it but I wouldn't consider myself adult until i've finished university and joined the world of work, but would consider the latter to constitute myself as an adult.

    Apart from education, and I suppose work is an education in a way, keeping your position in a job might be the only factor to take into consideration and when I get my first job, I don't want to get fired on my first day for not using what NT's would call common sense or taking the logical way around a problem. It is somewhat holding me back on my degree, the way i'm thinking, the way I perceive a problem... it's easy to understand what to do, I think of it theoretically but I can't put it into practice.
