Introduction
I am 50ish, diagnosed Aspergers living in Norfolk and I am of mixed race, so not interested in far right. Just making it clear from the start so anyone replying won’t waste their time or mine, especially about forming a group/newsletter/making contact with me in any way etc.
Please no replies from, or promoting, organisations, firms, corporations or any funded/voluntary groups. I want advice from actual individuals, preferably with AS, or their spouses/family/carers etc. This applies to all questions.
Are there any Autistic/Asperger people in Norfolk, especially in their late 40s who would like to contact me about forming a group/printed newsletter/website/anything similar which is run by, and for, Autistic/Asperger people and their families, friends, spouses, carers etc. Is there such a group/newsletter/website already in Norfolk/Cambridgeshire/Suffolk/Lincolnshire/ East Anglia? Please do not send contact details for the National Autistic Society, Autism Anglia or Asperger East Anglia/The Asperger Service. Please replies only from Aspergers/Autistic people or their families/carers/friends etc if they are living in the above areas and wish to contact me about any of these questions.
I have made artworks, sculptures etc which have no market value which hopefully I would like to go to a good home if anything happens to me (not that I am planning anything to). Could they be stored anywhere? I don’t want them to end up in a skip/landfill in case anyone ever likes them.
Any Autistic/Asperger people, preferably in Norfolk (I don’t have transport) who are in to digital video/film/art/photo/music etc and associated programs and software. Wouldn’t mind using an old video camera as well. Need a lot of advice and help as it is a long while since I have made videos.
Can anyone recommend (from personal experience) an advocate (not legal advocate) who can interpret what I say and then communicate this to a third party. Also, anyone anywhere who can teach social skills and interaction to adult Autistic/Asperger people of 49 onwards?
Has anyone any experience or advice on self-employment by/for autistics especially those of us who can’t do maths therefore can’t manage accounts/tax/VAT etc. Is there anywhere a service which is run by/aware of AS issues and which is affordable if you aren’t making millions a year. Also, can anyone advise on legitimate homeworking schemes (if any) preferably for real established companies with a name and tax code
Many Thanks
