I was wondering if there are any auties here living in Greece. I was diagnosed with ASD about 2 years ago, although I've essentially known I was on the spectrum about 15 years before that.
I'm very interested in discussing the situation relative to autism/neurodiversity here in Greece, and what needs to change so that we may be better included (and not excluded, as it is now) in society.
Feel free to post here in Greek or English (no Greeklish, please, if possible. I find it horrifying).

I'm Greek, but I don't live in Greece at the moment. Also, I'm self-diagnosed.

Welcome.

Are you an ethnic Greek?

What part of Greece are you in (just curious)?

Hi everyone! I live in Greece and I am just recently been told by my therapist that I probably have aspergers. I have problems at work and at relationships, especially since I came back to Greece 2 years ago to settle. I am looking for someone Greek to speak to, understand a bit the Greek situation and help me decide If I should return living abroad instead of staying here and trying to fit in.

Annaa, I'm afraid I'm of no use with respect to your post but, nonetheless, welcome to WP!

Greek here! :D

I have born and live in Greece.
I'm recently self-diagnosed at the age of 55 and although many of my "problems" resolved as I now can understand myself and be at some peace , I'm afraid that I can't tell anyone cause this will bring new problems...

In any case I'm glad to see other Greeks here!

It's all Greek to me :P

Seriously, Greece has wonderful history. I've also been there about three or four times. Both on the mainland and the islands.

Welcome! :)

Even for me, sometimes, "It's all Greek" (here in Greece we say "Chinese" :D ), because usually things don't work in a logical way. I admire Greek history and those unbelievable (in a good sense) people called "ancients". Actually they were quite a lot more modern than many "modern" Greeks, but this is another discussion. Maybe in your next visit to Greece we could meet. I'd be happy to meet you in person.
