We are shifting from New Delhi, India to Leeds in UK..in mid of September.. we have a 2 year old son Kiaan who is on the spectrum. I am looking for a play group for him where he can play with other kids and learn to be social. 
Also if anyone know about a good Occupational therapist around Leeds city centre, please suggest. We will register him with the local GP and will start the process of his assessment and therapies through the NHS  card but I know it will take time. So in the meanwhile I am looking for a private Occupational therapist and a play group.
Please suggest.

    Hi! 

    Try the Leeds Scope local helpline -

    There are all sorts of things available. You can look through the National Autistic Society to find different activity groups and support groups available in the area. You can also get a referral to occupational therapy prior to the diagnosis being given if your son is showing difficulties in his daily functioning. I hope that helps!
