Hi @Jill54, sorry to hear you had such a bad day yesterday, but we're glad to have you with us. Thanks for sharing a little bit about yourself. Can I ask what avenues you've tried for support for your son? Have you been in touch with the National Autistic Society. If you want to pose any specific questions or have a read of other people's experiences, we have an Autism and Aspergers discussion group here, as well as one for parents and carers. Of course, if you feel like just chatting or letting off some steam, feel free to join us in the coffee lounge.
I hope today's started off a little better for you,
Adrian
P.S. Hello @steve51. Sadly, Pippa moved on to pastures new at the beginning of the month, but any queries like this can be forwarded onto Sam, or myself.Community Manager
