Good Morning @rosiek87 welcome to our great group.
You certainly are on the right forum,
When your ready have a good look around I think categories would be a good one for you to look at first.
I know there is a family group there. I'm sure you will be greeted by more of our members when they wake up ha ha.

Hello @rosiek87 and welcome to the community.

We have many parents on the community, and a category called children, parents and families which you might find it helpful to have a look through.

How are you and your son coping with the diagnosis? It can be hard coming to terms with something when it is new but with time you learn to adapt, and I hope that you are receiving all the support you need from your son's medical team.

Scope has some family services that can act as a gateway to meeting other parents in similar situations, I'd recommend having a look through this page to find out more  

 

This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m sure you’ll find it to be a positive outlet, feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 A few notable pages I’d recommend visiting would be:

• The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
• The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
• The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.
