Hi everyone !

We are family of four with our 5 year old boy recently diagnosed with ASD. Just wondering if there are any support groups in Sheffield ? We really can do with more support or really just a chat with someone who understands what we are as family going through...

Our son is mostly very happy little boy but he is getting more and more frustrated and his challenging behaviour makes it super hard to do almost anything outside the house...His latest 'thing's is babies when he tries to poke them in the eye....He has no sense of danger and really loves making strangers feel awkward by tapping them on the head on the bus, screeching to get reaction...

He has been held back at school and has to stay another year at the reception class, really worrying for us especially with his no luck of empathy to be surrounded by 4 year olds....

Researching special schools in the area but no luck so far..

Is there anyone dealing with similar issues ? 

Many thanks xx
