  • Hello Alli

    My son now 13 is undergoing diagnosis, we think its Aspergers or high functioning autism.  He is being treated for depression with medication and counselling at camhs and is at a special school for children unable to attend mainstream due to medical reasons (he could not cope at his mainstream secondary which is where the problems first became apparent)

    I am very interested in your comment about the carers trust - we feel that our son needs some specialist ASD help and training (as do we!) but we are not being offered anything so I have decided to go all out and try and find out for myself!

    Would love to hear about your experiences

    thanks!
