  • Hey Millie,

    I’m sorry to hear that things have been so difficult for you. I hope you can find a community that both accepts you and you feel like a valuable member of it. I just Googled “brighton pride” and apparently the nation’s biggest Pride festival takes place in your neck of the woods in August. That could be a good time to go meet some like-minded folk in your area. But since there’s such a big Pride festival in Brighton, that must mean there are LGBTQ+ groups in the area as well that you can join even before August.

  • Hi,

    Welcome to our online community, it is great to have you here.

    I am sorry you are going through feeling trapped and alone. You might want to take a look at our Loneliness resource, It has a list of suggestions on managing this feeling. 

    The NAS has some resources on After diagnosis and What is autism that may have some helpful information in understanding your diagnosis. 

    It may also be worth speaking with your GP about some of the challenges you are currently facing. They can help signpost to local services and organisations that can help with the difficulties you are experiencing. 

    Thank you for reaching out,

    Olivia Mod
