Hello
I am the mother of a young man in his early 20s with high functioning Asperger Syndrome. He lives in a Supported flat, where he has guitar lessons and is interested in music, films, photography and computer games.
Because he's quite isolated at the moment, without other young people he can relate to, I'm wondering whether there are similar young people around Leeds he could meet or perhaps communicate with via Facebook. I'm not sure how that would work ( with not giving personal information via the forum ) but I'm sure it could be managed somehow. Perhaps NAS could advise.
Although his conversation is intelligent and witty, he's not going out much at the moment.
Suggestions welcome.
Hi Mackie,
Welcome to the community! If you are interested in social groups for your son then you can find these by searching our Autism Services Directory. Looking at this myself, I've found the Autsim Hub - Leeds Autism AIM and Leeds Asperger Adults. The search can be specified so that you can find services that could help your son. You could also contact our helpline which you can also email if you want to be signposted to services.
I hope that this helps you but if not please don't hesitate to contact us.
