Hello everyone I am so of new on here cause I forgot my screen name. So this is the name I will stay on. I have asperger syndrome but it is not a mental disorder. But I do have some mental disorders.ADHD,OCD,Major Depression
And Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar type. I am confused cause the disorder I say at the last is something strange about it. I don't think I can have major depression and schizoaffective disorder bipolar type cause major depression doesn't show bipolar symptoms.

Hi! Welcome to Wrong Planet!

If you'd also like to find an in-person support group for adults on the autism spectrum, you MIGHT (I'm not sure) be able to find one via a nearby chapter of the Autism Society. I don't know enough about Virginia geography to know which chapter is nearest to you so just Google "Autism Society Virginia" and pick the nearest one that comes up. I don't know which if any of these chapters actually has a support group for autistic adults -- some chapters do and some don't.

You might also look on Meetup.com for local autistic adult support groups.

Welcome to Wrong Planet! We have a great section for support of the various diagnoses that can often accompany ASD.
Glad you are here... :)
