Hi all thank you so much for your advice and links to further information !This is a great forum and i'm sure I will be visiting often, thanks again x

Thank you so much for your swift reply, its great to get some positive feedback ! I'm happy with the college and they seem really set up to meet his needs, its just the normal worries i have i.e will he make friends etc but the normal anxiety is heightened somewhat. Great advice in regards the G.P.il get on to it. Thanks again x

Hi everyone I'm new to this site so id like to just say hi to everyone firstly ! It would be great if anyone here could offer me some information/advice in regards my son Alex, hes 18 years old and has Aspergers and mild learning dis, for the past 10 years he has been living with is father in the south and I have had as much contact as possible but live in norfolk (so not as often as id like). After years of trying, he is finally coming to live with me and his half siblings this summer, he is enroled at the local college and will start a 1 year course this sept, the college are aware of his As, however other than that I'm not sure what else I should be sorting out for him ? He does have some anger issues which I would if possible like to get him some support for but im not sure if or what kind of support is out there if any? It would also be really helpful if anyone could tell me what if any benifits he may be entitaled to as im concerned that finding any form of work could be really diffcult for him later on! when I was with his father I knew who to contact and what was out there for him, but I now feel that I have no idea where to start and I want to try and support him in the best way I can, I would be sooooo greatful for any infomation/advice!! Thanks Louise
