being a parent with aspergers tips

[gladysmay]

Hi All,

 

seem to have been away for a while and changed jobs, become a grandparent blah blah blah:)

 

I am hoping I can find some advice on support available to a young single mum with Aspergers ADHD and Tourettes. hopeul to find an outreach worker who can come to home and provide practical support with a new baby. any helpful suggestions are most welcome, many thanks:)

 

I have been doing some digging around but can only find the NAS befriending scheme (?) may not be suitable and mostly support for the parents of those with AS and or associated conditions.

Hi Gladysmay - good to see you back, how are you? Hope your son is doing OK.

 

Re support for parent, try Homestart.

Hi Kathryn, good to hear from you too:) yes, he is doing fine thanks. hope your daughter is doing well also.

 

I have tried Homestart but there is a waiting list and we bump up against the age old problem of communication with NT staff with no training in AS. I am hoping to arrange some staff training at work (all subject to approval of course lol!) it is hard to find outreach workers familiar with these things.
