Would a youth club for people on the spectrum be a good idea?

misskittykat

There is a youth club in the town I live in that my daughter can't really access because of the type of kids there.  I've been thinking about asking them if they'll either do or agree to let someone I know, start a club there one night a week for kids on the spectrum.

Does anyone have any experience of a youth club specifically for ASD?  Or if you are an adult with ADS, do you think its a good or bad idea?  My daughter 'had' a friend on the spectrum but they fell out often.  I'm not sure if this was because of a lack of tolerance in each other or just different personality mix anyway.  But maybe a club wouldn't be such a good idea for this reason?  I've already got a list of volunteers that all work with adults with learning disabilities so I think in terms of 'staffing' we'd be able to do something really good.

  • Thanks Darkside, I've googled ICS Grants and not found anything in my county.  Did you find them via a social worker?  I've just realised that the system I use at work is called ICS and I work for Children's Social Care (as a support worker, not a SW) however mine is over the county from where I live - it would be easy if I lived in the same county as I know of many schemes that might be able to help! I've been meaning to contact SS to help.
