Hi, I'm from abroad...

Hi, I'm a UK-educated 41-y-o foreigner who, I think, now has an autistic child in his family, in its care. I use the word "think" because she is only 1.4 months old and doctors where I live don't diagnose autism, nor even closely aware of this condition. Yet, my observations and tons of information I've read online leave me no room for much optimism that the traits I already see will smooth out. I have decided to join this page and forum because we have no such website in my own country and the UK is the country where I studied and lived for some time. I'm open for discussions and exchange of experience with any parent or carer who has had an autistic child and me and my family who take care of our little, lovely girl need much psychological, moral support that we don't know how to get. Please, write to me anyone.

  • I'm neither parent nor carer, but am autistic.

    I will make a massive presumption based on your name that you are either Russian, and or Indian. Apologies if I am way off base.

    Without knowing which country you are in I am unable to furnish you with any research I might have been able to find which could help - charities perhaps working in your region which you might be able to access, etc. specialist international foundations, or indeed Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders).

    As you have access to internet I will make another presumption in that your base is non-rural, that you will be able to find the right information, given that you ask the right questions on the internet searches.

    I can offer no more in terms of experience, many apologies, but hope the above does help in small part.
