Hi All!

steedmanfamily

Hi I’m new to the site and we have just found out my son is on the ASD. We have known for a while this might happen so it didn’t come as a big shock. He is 6 nearly 7 and going up to year 3 in a new school, which is causing nothing but problems at home and at school, he is still in main stream schooling, the school is wonderful and has a very good special needs department that helps him a lot. We are in the Aldershot area and just wondered if anyone else was from around here that know of any good groups we could start going to? 

  • thanks for your reply Sharon. i will look into the other website when I get a second to myself!!! 

    I'm going to go a long to the coffee morning in the game shop, so thanks for the info, hopefully I can pick up so more deatils there too!!!

    I'm feeling a bit lost too, I'm not sure where to start now he has been diagnosed, I was just trying to get that done before I did anything else.

  • Hi there,

    My 12yr old has only just been diagnosed, so I haven't been along to any groups yet. 

    The NAS Hart & Rushmoor branch seem to have lots going on: www.nashandr.org they also have a facebook page.

    There is also www.mugsy.org for the NAS Surrey Branch - join their email discussion list and get their newsletter. The Surrey branch have a coffee morning at The Games Shop in Aldershot on 28th June according to their latest newsletter. I believe there might be some social skills groups run from The Games Shop too.

    There is also a special needs group in Aldershot: www.aldershotspecialneedsgroup.hampshire.org.uk - but again, I haven't been so don't know anything about it.

    I think I saw a poster at the Frimley Children's Centre about a local group for ASD etc. but I have no idea where it was now!

    I'm feeling new to all of this and quite lost, so I'm interested in seeing any other replies you get.

    Sharon
