Support groups for ASD or other conditions are normally found locally, and this is a national site. So it is probably best to look around within your local area, perhaps social media & the like, to see what support is on offer.
This support tends to be from the voluntary sector, so it is hit and miss as to whether any is available, and the quality of it. I'd also suggest you speak with your GP who can normally put you in touch with a variety of groups that might be of interest through social prescribing.
If you feel you need more general mental health support, you can approach Mental Health Services directly, who normally provide a range of talking therapies. You don't need to go via your GP.
If you're an adult, anywhere, then seriously consider give up hoping..........although one of my mantras is that "there is always hope"......so I guess I've just got myself trapped in my own doom-loop....albeit based on personal experience.
I think a lot of it comes from people never really moving on from being teenagers where they feel theres nothing worthy of thier massive talents, I've seen this carry on into adulthood for so many people, I think that a lot of people are useless at entertaining themselves, they're to used to having life neatly portioned up into things they have to do and places they have to be and unstructered time is scary.
I know the sorts of things I'd want to do, they only problem is nobody else wants to do them or they want to do them in a way I'm uncomfortable with.
Yes it does and you know what I'm fed up of having to set up groups and organise stuff to supposedly help myself, only to end up being the one supporting everyone else
Your turn of phrase does make me smile sometimes, even if you don't mean it to.
I don't understand how few people WANT to do anything in comparison to how many complain there's nothing for them to do!
