​This event takes place on Monday 17th August.

​An opportunity to learn about a range of experiences of other autistic people. This month Jason will share his story:

​"Hi, my name is Jason, I discovered I have autism and inattentive ADHD in therapy at the age of 38 and was officially diagnosed less than a year ago for both conditions. My life has been a journey of childhood neglect, lots of sporadic education due to the influence of others, marriage and missed opportunities due to walking through life without knowing my true self. In the past year I have changed quite dramatically as I have (perhaps) over consumed other peoples experiences in pursue of finding my own identity and my own truth. I am medicated for my ADHD too which has also been a journey in itself!"

​Content warnings: as above

​General Structure

​0-20 minutes:

​Speaker tells their story. They might not speak for the full 20 minutes.

​20-50 minutes:

​Discussion. Attendees then have the opportunity to respond to the speaker, ask questions, make points about how it relates to their story, etc. The aim will be to be for a relaxed discussion, but it will be chaired and some discipline would be needed. Obviously, participants should be respectful. Also, if they are to raise something which may be triggering, they should give a bit of warning before they begin to speak. The chair’s decisions should be respected.

​Last 10 minutes:

​Speaker will make any final points and then the event will end.

​If you may be interested in speaking about your story at some point, do get in touch by emailing info@amase.org.uk or via this form https://forms.gle/961eyBLuujCZWyHj9
