Hi Kate.
Sunday 10th sounds fine. I'll try to be there. Although i'm rather anxious about it all. I'm still very much in the closet about my "disease", so this will be my 'coming out' party as it were.
Really hope you can make it. I was very anxious about my first meet up ... but I'm so glad I went. It's so much easier connecting with and getting on with other people on the spectrum than neurotypicals. I think most of us who'll be going will understand your nerves and what you're going through, so that should make things easier for you. Would be great to see you even if you tell yourself to come just for half an hour. I hadn't met any other autistic people till my meet up (who were adults, knew about their condition and were willing to talk about) and talking to others with the same experiences as me was hugely validating.
