The community frequently discusses autism, diagnosis, assessment, struggling, and advice, and they frequently recommend/review ear plugs, detergent, and laundry detergent, and the most common flair used is diagnosis: england, vent, work, general & miscellaneous, and diagnosis: the assessment.
A safe social space for autistic people (diagnosed, seeking, or assumed) who are based in the UK.
***OUR CORE PRINCIPLES:
***1*** All posts must be made by or on behalf of an autistic person.
***2*** EVERYONE is celebrated and welcome except bigots, sexists, and serious rulebreakers
***3*** We're all here to learn about autism, UK-specific processes and experiences, and that we're not alone. And to grow.
