Does anyone know how to find adult mentors with AS who can share advice of how they dealt with the struggles of careers, relationships, etc., in a one-on-one fashion?
About me: I am in my early thirties, was diagnosed with autism at age 2, but had lots of treatment growing up, and my major symptoms subsided by adolescence. Since then, I've gone on to make a few life-long friends, as well as complete college and graduate school. However, I still struggle in many aspects of relationships, and have been let go from two jobs in the last year, at least in part due to symptoms which I now realize are from AS. Going through this process has been mind-blowing to say the least. It's like being diagnosed all over again.
That said, I think that having such a mentor could really help give me perspective on where to go from here.
