bid Report post Posted August 12, 2005 Hi I've posted elsewhere that my 76 year old dad is in hospital. He has AS, but no formal dx. My dad also has speech and language problems because of a previous stroke. We are urgently trying to track down a professional who specialises in, or at least has experience with, AS and the elderly. I know that many of you are members of other ASD forums, etc...please could you ask as many people as possible?? I shall be away for the next 3 days to look after my dad in hospital, so I won't be able to access the internet. We really, really need help with this one Thank you <'> Bid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phasmid Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Hope that by the time you get around to logging back on things are going OK for you, and your dad. The following from the NAS may not be exactly what you are looking for but it may give those looking after your dad something of an understanding of what's what. Hope it helps. http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=128 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
