I live with my husband and 3 children in Northamptonshire. Our eldest who is 7 has Aspergers, our 4 year is waiting to be assessed for Autism and we have a 2 year old daughter who has cerebral palsy. Looking for parents who understand what we are trying to cope with as we dont have alot of family around us.

Hi @wendy1905 welcome to the community.
Have you seen the parents and carers category? We have lots of parents here on the community and I hope you can connect with some of them. It's really tough when you feel isolated and don't have others to talk to.
We have an ASD advisor who you can ask any specific questions about ASD or if you just want to chat about Autism and Aspergers in general, there is the ASD category.
Are you involved with the disabled children's services at Northamptonshire Council? They seem to have quite a few services that may help. There's also quite a few Autism community support groups that you could look at here.
I hope you enjoy it here on the community, take a look around and get involved.
