My Autistic Self, a new Talkback group

Being diagnosed as autistic later in life can be overwhelming, as it can be difficult to fully understand your diagnosis.

If you’re an autistic adult, based in Milton Keynes, but have only recently been diagnosed, you may be struggling to understand your diagnosis. We can help.

At Talkback, we have set up some weekly groups, which are free to attend. At these groups you can come along and find out more about autism and ask any questions you may have.

Each group lasts two hours and take place in the morning from 10am, and in the afternoon from 1.30pm. The groups will begin on Friday 6th October, at Cornerstone Church 300 Saxon Gate West, Central Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes MK9 2ES.

Each group can cater for between six and eight people and individuals can self-refer or be referred via other NHS services.

This programme has been made possible through funding from Milton Keynes Council and, initially, will last for six weeks.

If you are interested in this new group, please contact Sue or Simon at Talkback by using the email address talkback@talkback-uk.com or call 01494 434448.
