Yikes, ABA. Yeah...no. :(

As you might already know, that happens in families at times. Both my parents have passed (I'm well past 30), but when I look back, I see a lot of signs they they could've been neurodivergent.

@SunCat @redbookworm I'm looking to see what I can come up with, not finding much.

I'm thinking that maybe a group outside of the country that has Russian-speaking support might have some ideas and/or contacts in your area that aren't otherwise listed.

Here's an example, but it's parent-focused, not autistics-focused:

They are linked with Autism Speaks it seems http://www.autismontario.com/client/aso/ao.nsf/adults/who+we+are?OpenDocument
@redbookworm

@SunCat @redbookworm missed that. so that won't do. hmn.

@SunCat @redbookworm

at this point, i'm throwing out ideas, tell me if that's not helpful.

i'm wondering if reaching out via the actuallyautistic hashtag would work (both here and on twitter), or calling ASAN would help. i have no contacts with the latter (or much in general, tbh), but someone else might.

usual "don't feed the trolls" warning for the former

@SunCat @redbookworm my thinking here is that if there's no support network in your country that's actually supportive, building one might work

@shoutcacophony
I actually just found one site now that is maintained by autistic people, yay! (http://www.aspergers.ru/about)
Looks like hope isn't lost afterall =)

@redbookworm

@SunCat @redbookworm yay! so glad to hear. :)
