hi @Sam09
We've just seen your post and would like to introduce ourselves. We are part of the team for Autism and Aspergers advice and wondered if there's anything you'd like specific advice on that we could help with.
Have you asked your neurodisability doctor if there are any workshops you may be able to attend, or maybe search online for workshops/courses in your area. Also it may help to ask for a sensory assessment for your son to assess what his sensory needs may be and the best way to help him.
