Aussies Unite - A forum for any Aussie Aspies

Post Reply New Topic

I am from inner west Sydney. It would be great to meet other adults Asdians from my area. Ironically there's not much in the way of adult support groups in Sydney.

Is there such a thing as respite for adult aspies in Oz. I am getting to a point where i need to remove myself from the world for a while. I need life to be much simpler.

Hi [b]lithium73[b]!
I've been in same situation. Asked about respite. Need to be over 65.

Was told Villa Maria might be able help! Don't know if there is one in QLD.

hi from QLD father of 14 yr old with aspurges

hi all, i am in geelong in vic... i have finally just had an accurate diagnosis of my 10 yr old aspie.. (he has been called twice exceptional, gifted and aspie) its such an exciting time sharing the journey with him, albeit some very high highs and very low lows, its beautiful seeing the world from such a unique perspective and learning about the amazing skills and interests of some famous and not so famous aspies. Aspies sure do make the world so much more interesting. I am so happy to have found this site. I look forward to reading more from what seems like a great community of posters...
P.S. wrong planet is great, its a forum i would be tempted to join without the ASD association as i daily think i am on the wrong planet
Thanks Niki

What a crazy thread. I totally live in Sydney.

I'm in Tassie.

I'm interested in hearing from any other Tasmanians as far as adult diagnosis goes. All the Aspergers specialists seem to be on the mainland. Has anyone been successfully diagnosed in Tasmania?

Thanks.

HI ALL!
I've made an appointment for a DX in mid January.... have to travel to Sydney..... will cost approx $400.00 for DX and extra $180.00 ( if I remember correctly) for a written report.

Adult DX , forgot to mention that!

Place is at ETOH Clinic...... Embracing the Other Half..... deals with Asperger's and other Spectrum disorders.....!.Psychologists not Psychiatrists.

Am writing this on the Aussie Page as I need to write how I feel about it and am too ashamed to write it on another Thread.

I'm ashamed to be a white Aussie because today, in WA, a 12 year old boy was "held in appalling conditions for hours for being in receipt of a 70 cent stolen Freddo Frog",

THIS ISN'T A JOKE!

And you guessed it he is Aboriginal.

His Lawyer, a mister Collins, asked the police to drop the charge but they insist on taking him to court.........he has no criminal history.

hi, i am in brisbane

I'm from Perth. My e-mail addy is [email protected], add me on facebook/myspace/msn messenger.

Be keen to meet up with anyone!

I'm on the Northside of Brisbane, not sure if I've posted in this topic before.

edited to say ~

I remember there being other threads on this topic before, so I was having deja vu. I have met other Aspies in Brisbane before. It is like meeting other friends and relatives I've had before lol, and some people you just won't get on with, some you do, like any other meeting of humans.

There are lots of Asperger groups on Facebook if you want to "meet" people online, and know a bit more about them.

Otherwise in different states, you generally contact the local Autism group for that state, and they may be able to put you in touch with any formally run groups.

In Brisbane there are a couple of groups - one is being run at UQ and I am not sure but I think the ASA might still have one there. I think AQ have one on the Southside but I have no idea what that is like.

greetings fellow brisbane people.
