How to build up support network/contacts/friends?

Post Reply New Topic

I know this is an old thread, but it appeared at the top of the list when I searched for "build a support network".

So, I have a suggestion for imipak and others in a similar situation: Why not start your own support group?
Or persuade someone nearby to help organise. Or you could take it in turns to run the group.

The post subject 'How to build up support network/contacts/friends?' is a discussion thread that needs to be reclaimed!

Anybody consider the value of quality people (who've have extensive experience with Aspergers) who are impartial e.g, Therapists, Financial advisors, Educators, and even Attorneys?

From my own personal experience with Asperger's, my social-skills are enhanced in sessions with a Therapist (with Asperger Experience) I've seen for two-years. Has anybody noticed if social-skills improve within the presence of a trusted professional, who advocates an impartial viewpoints?

Anyways, to stay on the topic of support networks, has anybody considered travel to (or at least active correspondence with) metro-regions "ahead of the curve" on Asperger awarenss and support services? That is, such support services may also have experience on "best practices" which may be developed in one's own local community!

i live in india where people dont even know of the concept of asperger
forget any support group for any mental illness
i started a facebook group
but it as no takers
