Adult Support and Wellbeing Programme

Since engaging with the Adult Support and Wellbeing Programme, I feel much less isolated. I have enjoyed taking part in several courses and ongoing programmes which have really enriched my life, I have learned some new skills and found enjoyment in new practices. Also I now feel much more comfortable in myself which, as a late diagnosed adult is a huge benefit. I have been working with these guys for years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication, they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!

Before I engaged with the Adult Support and Wellbeing Programme, I was unsure how to make sense my late diagnosis. Was this a continuation of being “a fake”? Had I made it up? After the calls, and listening to others experience, I leave with a greater sense of calm about myself.

Before I engaged with the Adult Support and Wellbeing Programme, I was overwhelmed and felt misunderstood Now, I feel like I have that extra bit of support and also as space to just be myself. It has also giving me a bit more confidence to open up to people about being autistic and it helped me come to terms with my very recent diagnosis. Thanks Jennifer and everyone in the group.

Before I found AsIAm I felt like I was different and nobody could relate to me. Since engaging with AsIAm I have found people who experience life similar to me and have had a wonderful time sharing these similarities with others.

The women’s social hour is an invaluable space for autistic women to gather and “talk shop” about our experiences. It is a safe, respectful space in which we can talk and act freely.

Before I engaged with the Adult Support and Wellbeing Programme, I was lost on how best to move forward after my diagnosis. Now, I experience a sense of community and feel understood, plus have a great deal of fun with the various groups. I’m forever grateful to AsIAm for this amazingly varied programme.
