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.

    Hi misskittykat,

    We didn't come by the Grants through the social services.  Matt was origionally held at CAF level, and when he went to what they called level 3 or Integrated childrens services, it opened up a whole world of funding.  I asked the my parent support advisor, where would be the best place to find out information about the  grants, she said that the school nurse would know about what they call them in your neck of the woods.  I am sorry I haven;t been more help.  Thanks for your comment by the way

    That has helped, thanks.  The school haven't done a CAF and I think they should have but as she's not going and I've started the process of a statement, there's probably little point now but when I go up and see school next time (we are supposed to drop in once a week afterschool), I will ask to make an appointment with her.
