Ladies in the 30s in North West Wales - social group

NAS91946

Hi all,

 I'm 30f late diagnosed at 29. Whilst the diagnosis has been helpful in the sense it's been very validating it has also led to a lot of frustration because nothing has changed. There's no support around here and I still feel like I can't find my tribe which is what I was hoping the diagnosis  would lead to. I have a hypotheses we're all just hiding indoors because let's face it life has beaten us millennials up quiet a bit and for us it came with added spiciness. And if your like me you're feeling lonely and defeated. I want friends in my life but just can't seem to get past that acquaintance stage.

Whether your officially diagnosed or self diagnosed and live in the north West Wales area (Angelsey, Gwynedd, Conwy ) I was wondering if anyone wants to make a social group. Maybe we just start on here first and see where and when would be best for everyone.

Whilst I've always felt I get along with guys better, it has never ended up well for me with them turning out to have unspoken intentions that I did not agree or wish for hence why I'm starting with ladies only...sorry boys. 

So please feel free to say hello! It's starting to feel a bit empty here.

  • I think it's a great idea to start a social group. Is there a Community centre in your area? That may be worth visiting and see if there is anyone there that could help promote your idea? You can usually use community centres free and who knows there may be funding available to help set up the group.

    I have started talking to people who I feel comfortable with about setting up a peer support group, but I haven't got any further than that. I will keep you posted. How about contacting the NW integrated autism service and let them know your interest in doing this. Maybe they could provide you with some encouragement? Please keep us posted x
