Hi Everyone!
I just joined here today and found this thread so thought I'd better introduce myself!
My name is Mandy, 30 years old, married to Rich (who has HFA) and we have 3 kids: Melissa (6) who has Asperger Syndrome, Lucy (3), speech and language delay and Gemma who is 10 months old. We live in the West Midlands. Melissa was diagnosed with AS just over a year and a half ago. She is in mainstream school with support and is coping with it ok so far.
I am currently without a "home" place on the internet for support . I used to be a CL (community leader) on ivillage special needs board but stood down because of family responsibilities. I also used to co-manage an MSN group for autism support but I am no longer there for personal reasons. So feeling a bit isolated at the moment. This looks like a great place, and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and making some new friends I hope!
Take care for now,
Mandy xxx
