Setting up a drop in for adults who are on the spectrum

paulaobrien

Hi

I hope I am writing this in the correct place.

I would like people to comment on what they would like a drop in to offer?

For example what activites, information and other resouces would be beneficial?

I realise this is rather an open question but would appreciate your input.

Many Thanks

  • I hope I've understood this right, forgive me if I haven't but I often get stuff wrong.

    In my area there is a lot of support for youngster on the spectrum and their carers but nothing for adults.

    I am an adult with HFA and would like somewhere to go where I can meet other people on the spectrum and maybe not on it too but who have some understanding of us. I have tried to join various social groups but always get excluded because 'I'm different' and my worse experiences are at the hands of churches.

    Such places could offer help with living support as well but for me I want a friend, someone to go out with sometimes who accepts me and doesn't judge me or try and change me to suit themselves.

    I have a great Mum but that's all, I don't have anyone else in my life and I know one day she will die and I worry because I know then I'll just be on my own and it feels lonely sometimes.

     

    I don't know if that helps - but that's what I would want from a drop in for ASD's.
