Introduce yourself (part one)

Hi everyone,

We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.

You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello Smile

Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.

And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.

    hello, my son is 29 and was diagnosed with Aspergers at the age of 21 after a disastrous time away from home at university. 

    I'm 57 and increasingly concerned about enabling him to move out of the family home successfully and struggling to get a care needs assessment sorted out so that he can get the kind of support he needs to be less dependent on me.  I kinda want him to move on before I shuffle off the mortal coil and all that, you know?

    I find that I am very conflicted over the whole thing around his assessment - I use every excuse there is to avoid actually doing the work I need to do to progress this, mainly because it makes me anxious and upset to have to think about it all.

    Are you keen for your son to live away from home any time soon?
