Help for parent of autistic adult

DSaun523

Hi, I am new here and looking for help and advice please.  My 36 year old son has recently been diagnosed autistic and I am looking to see what support there is out there for me as a parent.  I am already looking into support for him, but I am struggling finding out what education and support there is for a carer.  I also have a 29 year old son that is waiting for his assessment

The service is provided by trained volunteers with personal experience as the parent of an autistic child or adult.
