elaine1 Report post Posted July 29, 2005 In the west midlands I would love to speak to someone in my situation who lives in my area, or perhaps you would like to write to me as a pen pal. most of my friends dont understand living with AS and the difficulties it brings with days out etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elainem Report post Posted July 29, 2005 Hi Elaine1, My ds's occupational therapist linked me up with a girl round the corner who's ds is about same age as mine. Also ages ago the EP said if I wanted she could link me up with someone with ASD child in mainstream school as it can be a lonely path sometimes! If you have EP/SALT/OT or any other professional maybe you could say you would be interested in chatting to a parent in similar siutation and if she knows anyone suitable may be she could ask them would they be interested?

call me jaded Report post Posted July 29, 2005 Contact a Family are very good for linking you up with someone locally. It really helps to share knowledge of what's available in your area and how to go about accessing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
