LCBuk Report post Posted October 9, 2013 Hello to everyone on this forum! I am new here so I will start off by introdcing myself... I'm a 28 year old shy female living in Kent in the UK and because of my Asperger's it makes me terribly shy to go to social gatherings usually I am quiet and withdrawn around big groups, but on the other hand I love the thought of talking to people and making new friends. At the moment i'm attending a ''social skills group'' in wilmington Kent, which is fine and I enoy myself there but having attended the group a number of times I feel like they don't give a lot of time or enough time to meet people. So i'm asking if anyone knows any groups or carers ( since i'm a carer too ) meetings for people with Asperger's or if anyone knows people who would be willing to be sociable. Making friends and listening to other people's needs is esentual I feel. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanya52 Report post Posted October 9, 2013 Hello LCBuk and welcome aboard! You've made a lovely introduction and I'm glad that you're here. Unfortunately I live far away and haven't even visited Kent yet. I send you a link which might help you with your enquiry and wish you to meet some nice people like yourself. I know what you mean saying this is "essential" for you and agree with you. http://www.asperger.org.uk/about-aea/links.asp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
