trekster Report post Posted May 19, 2012 http://www.autism.org.uk/living-with-autism/adults-with-autism-or-asperger-syndrome.aspx The NAS pages aimed at spectrumies. http://www.autism.org.uk/living-with-autism/parents-relatives-and-carers.aspx The NAS pages aimed at parents and carers. There might be a local parents/carers branch in your area or a local ASD social group for you son to help reduce the isolation associated with ASDs.

oxgirl Report post Posted May 20, 2012 Would you be able to describe the behaviours a bit so that people could get an idea of how to help? ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekster Report post Posted July 29, 2012 Can you get to Loughborough? if so there is a partners support group called translate. i have met someone that runs it and he is very on the ball. Also parents of adult groups tend to accept partners of adult groups. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
