My daughter has severe autism and global developmental delay

Luckystar

I am a single parent/carer with one daughter aged 13.  My daughter has severe autism and global developmental delay, she cannot communicate verbally and I am struggling to care for her now.  I do get some respite care which I really appreciate.  I feel very alone, with no one to talk to and I would love to meet other people and gain much needed support and advice.
