Any aspies here from the UK?

I would like to make friends with a British aspie.

Hi there I have a dx of Asperger's and Tourette's and live in the UK, nice to meet you

Hi there neptunekh,

I'm in the UK and was dx with AS about 3 weeks ago and have just joined this forum. Feel free to PM me if you ever fancy a chat

I am also in UK, near Plymouth.

I'm in the UK. Sometimes I'm in Wales and sometimes I'm in Engand.... but I'm a diagonised aspie.

I was recently diagnosed. The worst part of it is when people patronise u? Anyone feel the same?

Hi there, I'm from UK (Norfolk).

I'm thinking of getting an assessment in the near future. I've taken the online AQ test (Baron-Cohen) and scored 30 which is a borderline score. I don't have repetitive behaviour but struggle with the social skills side of things. I find small-talk difficult to join in with or keep going and can find it difficult to think of things to say unless it is about something I like. I also find it very difficult to make friends. My social skills have improved by watching how others act but it is a struggle. If anyone would like to chat about their experiences then it would be good.

Yup! I'm from Norfolk and I currently live near Portsmouth.
I was diagnosed when I was young. While growing up I met so many aspies but now as an adult it feels like we've dropped off the earth. There's some local Autism groups but it's not the same. Andwhere-abouts are you from?

I think that the UK is a good place to be an aspie as our naitonal Autism organisations aren't so pro-cure as they are in America.
