New Diagnosis

Owen over 4 years ago

Hi, I'm a 46 year old male with 2 autistic sons. I've just been through an assessment and had a positive diagnosis.

Are there any supports groups I can join to talk to people in a similar position. I feel a little over whelmed at the moment.

Thanks

By-and-large, Autism-Related groups are aimed at Kids/Young Adults. However, you may wish to focus more in special interest groups; perhaps a group on Meetup dot Com. (either face-to-face, or on Zoom)

Hello Owen,

Thank you for sharing this with the community. It's understandable that you're feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. I hope you feel supported by other members of the community here on the NAS forum.

You may find the following page our website useful:

All the best,
