    Hi @Mum5widow or should I say Wonder Woman?!

    It's brilliant to have you here and I'm glad to hear you have been speaking with the navigate service  :) How are you today?  I hope Tuesday's been good to you!

    We have lots of conversations going on that you might find interesting.  

    Our Parents and Carers group is a nice place to chat with other parents about life with disabled children or if you want to talk to others more specifically about autism, we have a dedicated Autism and Aspergers group.  

    if you just fancy a general chit chat about life, random stuff or want to play a fun game, try our virtual coffee lounge

    I hope you enjoy it here and just give us a shout if you need any help.

    Hello @Mum5widow I am new to the community group too but felt compelled to say hello as a fellow mum. It can be lonely sometimes parenting and having such a large family often mum comes last on the list. I hope that chatting on here and making lots of new friends mean that you won't have to feel lonely. :)
