I have heard it, heard the fact that there are adult Asperger's support groups, but is anyone part of any and can report their help to adults with Asperger's, are they any use and if so what do they help with ? Oh and can anyone recommend such a group if they are of any use and are there regional groups and how might one find them ?

Why is there very little in terms of communication, web forums and such for adults who strangely have Asperger's Syndrome ? Because we are out here alone and often unrecognised with no help from anyone let alone the medical services who tell us there is not the funding so there I take it, not the interest . Does it not occur adult aspies are being let down badly by this attitude and so many of us struggle daily with depressive illnesses caused by our total lack of understanding of the world we live in, because there is not the behavioural therapy to change our ways of attempting to cope with living and it is with many adult aspies, well adult aspies feature as a worryingly high statistic in suicide instances. Yes, many of us received diagnosis of asperger's syndrome in later life, a bitter sweet episode in our existence, sweet because it gives reason to all those failures, but bitter is that no one can or will help us, we are condemned. And if we are unemployed to start with the diagnosis does not help at all and even the job centre usually so keen to smash square pegs into round holes loses interest. So what of it, are other adults with this curse feeling the same and can anyone answer my question with less cynicism ? ( Of course I do understand there are many an aspie that has gone on to live fulfilling lives and even excelled far above all others, but they are the lucky ones in that they found their niche where they thrived, but how many of them compared to the one's that failed )
