I'm always up quite early (although not as early as you!) but just not always able to come online unfortunately. Hope your meeting goes ok.

That's OK, I was only telling truth 
That's good that its an informal setting, although it can make me feel anxious if friendships have already been established. When is the next course running? Confidence building and things like that would be helpful to those like ourselves. My executive functioning isn't that great either as I think I've mentioned previously, so these things sound like good things to build on. I hope it goes well for you.
As for prospects, it only runs in Glasgow and London. I'm not sure if NAS offer any other courses or groups. I wasn't told about any others anyway. At the end of it you are supposed to be lined up with some work experience, basically volunteering for one day a week. I've been done for weeks and I've yet to have mine arranged, despite phoning a few times. I already have some previous experience so I'm not that bothered. Wouldn't of minded it for something to do though, but it doesn't portray the course in a good light due to this. Hopefully the others got something lined up as they were some there that hadn't had any work experience at all.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening. Hopefully get to speak to you again tomorrow

Sorry for dragging this up from the other day but I thought I'd reply for if you turn up later Colin!
I'm not sure when the next course is, they are quite an unorganised bunch unfortunately. Yeah there are a few people at that group who have already formed friendships, which like you say does make me feel awkward aswell, but I guess that's the case with a lot of these things. Ah yes I do remember you saying about executive functioning before, I'm still a little hazy on this subject to be honest, although I've read some things about it on here.
That's disappointing that they haven't followed through with the work experience. It seems lots of these places need to be nagged a bit. :/ I have to say I hardly have any work experience.
Other than a bit of volunteering with the group but that's quite on/off.
