Moving out of London

Camomile 14

Hi 

l’m a mum of 13year old autistic girl and looking for recommendations for autism friendly areas outside of London. 
We want to move out and l’m searching for an area where we can find a good school and a friendly community.  Thinking about Oxfordshire,  but I’m open to recommendations from other areas . 

Parents

  • iv been trying to move out of london for years for the same reason, last time i looked, just before lockdown, the places that others rated were exeter and croydon, croydon was rated for homeschool support too.

    Hi , 

    Thanks for your opinion, but after 20 years in London, Croydon wouldn’t be the place to relocate , doesn’t tick  ‘feeling safe’ box . Mind you there maybe people who live there and feel safe.

    yep i feel the same, iv joined some of the local area facebook news/selling groups and see wat sort of people post, ask some questions on fb homeswapper groups etc get a feel for teh local people and see where my son would likely fit in. are you private or council? im council and iv found it impossible to find a move since lockdown and now no ones got removal money for an exchange, frustrating.

    I'm just well aged and I gave up trying to "play the game" a few years ago.

    Because the game we all end up playing is a version of monopoly, and if you don't get lucky early on you are just wasting your time.

    My annual turnover of money is now (and has been for a couple of decades) in the single thousands, I'm so poor in financial terms I don't even qualify to pay tax, which keeps life nice and simple, too.

    Most people see me as an idiot or loser to be honest, but I'm happier than I was..
