The (name etc) autism society organisations, charities, don't offer support for people with Aspergers apart from useless pamphlets, not actual help. Those organisations are scams, and only want to help autistics who are handicapped, not higher-functioning. (AND want more money than you could possibly supply.) Go to a learning disability charity or organisation when you have Aspergers, and they will turn you away, you have a mental health condition, go away, nothing to do with us. Go to a mental health charity or organisation and they will say, go away, you're mentally handicapped not mentally ill, go away, you don't have a mental illness. Try MenCap, no, you're mentally ill, not learning disabled, go away, nothing to do with us. Try a local support 'gateway club', get turned away, Aspergers, bad, nothing to do with us, you have a degree anyway so there's nothing actually wrong with you. Get help from social services, no help after 7 years trying. Write to MP, get told, you obviously don't have any health problems because social services won't help you. Talk to other organisations, and possible employers, mention Aspergers, you might as well have said that you are a paedo or drug addict, immediate bad reaction. Black listed. I have Aspergers, I am not a parent looking through rose coloured glasses, society doesn't want you if you have Aspergers, and there's no organisation to help, FACT.
