Needing support

NAS35811
  1. hi everyone I have three children my youngest is 7    he's been diagnosed with autism and I am looking to meet and chat to other mums I am based in Leicestershire so would be lovely to hear from other mums going through similar problems as it can feel isolating at times and needing mums to talk to that understand.

  • Hi Becky,

    Apologies for the slightly late reply. If you're interested in meeting up with other parents, you might want to look into finding a support group. The NAS Autism Services Directory lists different services that are available by area. This is a link to the directory, filtered for support groups and networks in the Leicester/Leicestershire area - http://www.autism.org.uk/directory/browse/cid=58~aid=331.aspx - there are a few different options so I hope you'll be able to find one that works for you.

    Best wishes,

  • nice to speak to you Michelle to be honest when I got my sons diagnosis I felt ok because we knew that he had autism you just no its a parents instinct but at least now my son will get support he currently has one to one at school and will have 32 hours one to one when he goes back after Xmas so just hope he progresses as hes very behind his peers my sons exactly like your son hes fine at school then at home he's the opposite am very thankful that you got in touch and I hope we can keep intouch I will have to private message you xx

  • Hello my names Becky thankyou for your reply would be lovely to talk to you I really do need support of other mums I think with support I wouldn't feel as isolated and just knowing theres another mum I can talk to that understands the daily struggles etc how do you feel about your sons diagnosis? Also what's your name? X
