Hi Everyone
My adult son has recently been diagnosed with Autism / Aspergers. Life has been quite a challenging journey for him to date. I hope that the insights that I get from the community on this site will help us to give him the support that he needs. I also hope that we might be able to offer support to others.

Hi @Ginajee and welcome to the Community. It is nice to meet you and thank you for sharing with us. You will find some of our members are in a similar situation to yourself with loved ones who have Autism and Aspergers so they will be able to reach out and chat to you. We are all here to support you anyway as we are a very friendly Community of people. So please chat to us anytime and if there is anything you need help/support with then please just let us know. All the best.Winner of the Scope New Volunteer Award 2019.
