Separate forum/community for autistic adults ?

Bob C

Hi

Recently the suggestion has been made that a separate forum of community is needed for Autistic Adults. 

I would welcome thoughts, comments and ideas on this subject.

Starter questions:

Q: Is there a need for "another" community when others exist online?

Q: Is the NAS the best organisation to fascilitate this?

Q: Could it be self-managed but just technically supported by the NAS?

Q: Should it be "part" of this community or completely separate?

Regards

  • Thanks Asparagus and Trogluddite for kicking this off.

    It would be interesting to know whether there are any other forums or communities that serve the needs of adults (late diagnosis or older). It's a while since we have researched other communities. It is an area we are keen to address you can read more hear about the Autism and Maturity Project here:

    www.autism.org.uk/.../ageing.aspx

    What we are keen to do as the NAS is to provide services where there are gaps and not try and replicate services provided elsewhere. So if there is a gap for online forums for this group we should consider ways to help.

    Thanks for points abou pros and cons of separation or not
