If there had been an aspie youth club when you were younger.

Would it have helped, would it have made life easier? I was thinking around 18-25 age range.
Personally for me, hell yes. Even for the ones that are more mildly affected and wanted to keep it a secret, you would not have had to tell anyone else. Although the milder among us tend to get diagnosed much later, if at all.

Hell even now, Id love it if I knew a group of aspies to hang out with in my local area, damn, I don't even care if people's interests are completely different than mine, we all have logical minds, so Id learn something from your obsessive interests, and you'd learn something from mine.

Or am I completely wrong with the aspie group dynamic? Would we end up annoying each other?
It's rather sad that I can't piece this together on my own, havn't been aroun enough of us.

Just curious of your thoughts?

I wish I had that as a younger person-I was diagnosed late in life and now feel I missed out on a lot of stuff because I didn't understand.

No. It would have helped if the doctors had diagnosed me when I was identified.

I doubt I would have gone to any club, regardless of the other people there.

I was never very good at groups, even if those groups were composed of other people not good at groups.

See, I would have gone but I would have been in the waaaaay back reading and not paying attention.

It would have helped me a lot. I would have had a safe place to go where everybody understood me and why I had quirks.

At that age, me too! But I would have been happy that I was still technically part of a group, knowing people I could relate to were nearby.


I wish the recession hadn't screwed over any kind of financial support for anything even remotely related to disabilities in the Uk.


I would totally try and open one of these after finishing my degree.
better goal than my endless obsession with sociopathy eh, lol.
Yep, that was the aim of this thread.. I wasn't trying to pointlessly analytical for once.

Same here for me, the only way I got by was because I was the one who crack jokes for the entire class.
