Hi, my name is TheKershaws!

Hi all,

We have been looking for peer parent support. Our youngest child Lewis, 2 and half yrs, is currently under assessment for autism. His nursery have applied for a one to one support as his needs are very challenging.
we are navigating our way through this new situation and at times feel ok about it and other times feel totally overwhelmed, especially with the usual pressures of family life.
It would be so good to meet and chat with people in a similar situation to ourselves. Thank you for reading xx

Hello @TheKershaws and welcome to the community, how are you? 

I'm not a parent myself, but I imagine it's quite normal to have ups and downs when adjusting to a situation like yours, hopefully you are able to get the support your child needs.

you have joined a very helpful community, we have plenty of users who are parents themselves so I'm sure you will find people with common ground.

You also might be interested in reading about Scope's Parents Connect service, which you can do here.

I have moved your discussion to our parents category.
