Hi im Rachel, founder of Autism in Totnes. I set this group up for many reasons. the 1st and most important reason was to bring Autism into my own town. There is absolutely no awareness' or support where i live.  I travelled by 1 train and bus to get to a support group every month for 7 years before covid and when covid came along my support group went online to video chat. I am 29 (as of writing this in 2022). I was diagnosed when i was 20-21 and now i feel it is time i set up my own group. I have a lot of experience with other autistic adults as friends and through my previous job as a disability support worker. i love supporting and helping people and giving advice, so this is a good way to do so.
