    Hi @Creativeboy23

    I'm hearing that you are unhappy with the support you are receiving at university. People should be able to receive support in all types of education. Is there anyone you can speak to about your lack of support for example a wellbeing centre at uni or does your uni have a wellbeing officer? The National Autistic Society has a discussion board where members with Autism can be part of an online community, if you want to talk to other people with autism that may be experiencing similar issues.

    Please keep us updated with how you're feeling, we're all here for you :)

    Hi @Creativeboy23 I know it has been a few days since you posted but I just wanted to check; how you are doing?

    I'm sorry to hear that you do not feel that you are getting the adequate support you need and deserve - it must be devastating and frustrating. But I'm glad you have an upcoming well-being appointment, I hope it goes well and you feel that you are being heard and listened to.

    Would you be interested in joining any extra circulars or societies at your university, most universities have a neurodiversity society, if you would be interested in joining. It is a great way to need like-minded people! Many students struggle in making and maintaining meaningful relationships, as well as finding their place and feeling a sense of belonging, so many are open to everyone and are very welcoming.

    Take care, Fiona =)

    Hi @Creativeboy23 I'm glad to hear you are okay now.

    I'm sorry to hear that your wellbeing appointment didn't go well, if you would like to talk about it some more, I'm here for you!

    The Design Society sounds interesting, what kind of events do they do?
    Unfortunately, many university societies do not stay active on social media, but hopefully, when you get in contact with them, you may find they have a groupchat.

    I hope things work out for you, please keep us updated!
    Best wishes,
    Fiona. :)
