I'm Australian and was diagnosed early last year.
It's not impossible.
It could take some time, however.
You need to be persistent.
(I'm female, btw, despite what my profile says)

Hi Yigeren, most of the organisations and services here seem to be geared towards children, or adults with autism (lower functioning), but I will have another look around, thanks for the suggestion

This mirrors my own experience. There's possibly even more aimed at "third party" adults, parents and partners, than autistic adults. At least in my area.

Belated thanks for the welcomes and ideas - I'll see if someone at Tony Atwoods office can point me in the right direction..


That's an excellent idea.
If anyone knows where these services are, it would be them.

Hi folks,

Here is a link to the Tony Atwood clinic, He himself is not taking new referrals but there is an email and contact number that might be of use in finding out more and as I said before lead to resources in your local area.

Good luck
