I am 59 years old & I live in Cumbria.
I was diagnosed as autistic 9 years ago and ADHD about 7 years ago, and it has been a roller coaster journey ever since to be honest.
My main issue is that I am currently working full-time but based at home. This started in 2020 as a Covid response but now it is apparently the new 'normal'. I have very little human interaction on a daily basis, apart from my hubby who works from home 3 days a week.
I have tried to find local social groups but most seem to be for 'young adults' perhaps up to the age of maybe 30. I feel I would have little in common with that age group and crave peer contact. It is now getting to the stage when I get severe anxiety spikes when I try and do something outside of the house on my own.
Is there scope to find a way to create a specific list of social groups who encourage participation from older autistic women?
HI. Perhaps it's time to start one! If you are full time perhaps something that can wedge in between your schedule easily?
