Hello Everyone

My name is Dan and I'm from Leeds, West Yorkshire.

I'm new to this forum and have just joined the National Autistic Society this morning. My wife used to work for a specialist college where she worked with young people on the spectrum.

Our son is almost 3 and has just been diagnosed with autism.  Although my wife and I do have a little experience, the reality is that we have just begun on a new journey of learning.

We look forward to exploring this forum and the NAS website and getting to know the other members. It's also our aim to get involved with some fundraising once we find our feet.

Kind Regards

Dan

    Thank You for the welcome.

    As a teenager, our next door neighbour's son had severe autism. As an adult, I had a couple of friends with children who have autism. When I got married, my wife worked at a specialist college helping young people with autism. And, most recently, our son who is almost 3 has been diagnosed with autism.

    We are enjoying the support and information provided by the National Autistic Society and it's our hope, once we find our feet, to get involved and hopefully give something back.

    Best Wishes

    Dan
