Need MH support for adults with aspergers

I was diagnosed with aspergers recently as an adult. I also have long-term mental health difficulties. Since my diagnosis I have been told to go to MH support groups, however the ones I have been provided with are solely for people with autism and people with learning difficulties. Many of the attendees are non-verbal and struggle with communication. As someone who has been a teacher for many years, this isn't the right envorinment to meet my needs. Instead, I am having to pay £40 for regular private therapy as there simply isn't any other support. There needs to be better mental health support for adults with aspergers. At present there is a serious lack of provision.
