University experience as an autistic individual
Hi, I am a autistic individual who has struggled a lot with my mental health throughout my 20 years of life, and only recently been diagnosed with autism. I am currently at university studying psychology, and am wondering if there is anyone else who also is at univeristy as an autistic individual here? I have found it quite hard to relate to others around me and haven't made any friends so far because of my quiet personality.

Hi @ChickenLegs19 and a warm welcome to the community from me!
I see Passerby has linked a great blog above, there is also some more blogs I found that may be helpful to read to that i'll link below…Being autistic at UCL: students share their experience | UCL News - UCL – University College London
Experience of a current undergraduate – Autism & Uni Toolkit – Durham University
Blog: Navigating university as a student with autism

Hopefully some other members who will be able to relate will share their experience with you too😄
