Hi is there anyone from Bristol on this page? My son who is 4 this year and just been diagnosed with autism and I wondered if anyone else on here was living in Bristol? It can feel quite lonely x
Hi NAS86577,Welcome to the NAS online community, glad to have you with us! Just thought I'd mention a couple of things that might be useful to you. We have a section here on the site covering various aspeects of autism diagnosis if you're looking for more information - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis - the post-diagnosis support for parents and carers might be particularly relevant - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/post-diagnosis-support/parents-and-carers. Also if you're looking for local support groups or parents' groups in your area, you might want to have a look at the autism services directory, which you can find here - https://www.autism.org.uk/directory - and can be filtered by type of service and location. Best wishes, Ross - mod
