Anyone from the UK?

Post Reply New Topic

I am from Newcastle Upon Tyne myself.
I would love to meet with a group of Aspies from Newcastle or from anywhere else in the UK.
It would be great to meet and hang out with some people who I can understand, and that can understand me in return.

Nope, it's all Yanks here, lad ....

Well i'm down here in Notts but I don't really do meeting up!

If you don't already know me in real life it's unlikely you will ever meet me as I am very selective with new meatspace people. I feel this could be a common problem for arranging meetings with anyone on this forum!

lol I'm a girl

Hey fellow UK dwelling person
No problem, I know that meeting new people is hard myself, I have social phobia. For some reason, I find myself more relaxed when getting to know other people who have AS, I know I can 'be myself' around them. It would be nice to make a friend or two I actually feel 'safe' with but I can appreciate meeting up won't be alot of peoples cups of tea.

I am myself around everyone I meet which is sort of the problem!
Cups of tea are always good though, the great ice breaker.
I don't regularly keep in touch with many people on this forum or anywhere else but friendly conversation is always good even if it's through these electric mistresses of ours.

weve had several meetups in london, if that isnt too far.

I get the train to newcastle sometimes & its 3hrs, and as low as £25 return if you book early enough.

I'm from West Yorkshire.

A lot of us haven't developed thumbs yet.

i live in the uk as well.
not all yanks here...they are over there.

West Midlands over here. (The general area, not the actual county... more specifically, I'm in Shropshire.)

*looks at previous sentence* And yep, I'm definitely an Aspie.

Yeah, I'm from Hampshire (it's still debatable that I'm an aspie, but nevermind). It's.... flat down here. My parents are in Newcastle at the minute though enjoying a wedding. Small world eh?

There appears to be quite a few UK members using WrongPlanet.net, or at least this is the impression the Meet Up thread gives. I have noticed that many are male; I do not have any female friends, and would like to establish some.

I am also from West Yorkshire. This is a fair distance from Newcastle so the information may not be of much use, still I was surprised that someone else disclosed this location.



I am not sure that being around other Aspergers guarantees that the individual would be understood, and understand others in return, but a lot of people do share this belief and I hope you manage to find some nice people to befriend.

Hey there, fellow north-easterner here! Should be great to meet up with people, I'd really like to.

Londoner here but quite up for a little travel occasionally although I do tend to get a nosebleed if I go north of Watford

lol, I live in the new forest (hampshire), my gran lives in newcastle, and i go to uni in manchester.
I don't think it's a small world, just a small country

i have family in Newcastle and i go there at least once a year.
