Just attended at the local adult Autism Support Service. I have to say that I am quite impressed! They provide 1-2-1 counselling, and group sessions, for people diagnosed with autism. They have promised to sign me on to a course for people who have been recently diagnosed. I am also going to have a 1-2-1 session to discuss an employment problem that I have. They said that they may well be able to liaise with my work to helkp work out what reasonable adjustments can be made.
It is run by the local NHS mental health trust. I am guessing that this type of service is available right across the UK but you would have to check in your area.
I had to go down and have an initial interview session before they would take me on to the courses but the guy that did it was dedicated to working with autistic/aspie people and nothing else. They do seem to understand what its all about and there were a few other 'clients' there. Everyone was very quiet and friendly.
C&F: I think you should definitely look into this.
