Any mums from York with Aspergers children?

kt333

Hi, I am mum to a 6 year old girl with Aspergers. I sometimes find it very isolating as I don't know any other parents of children with Aspergers. We have lost friends over the past year mainly down to the fact that I have to cancel outings at the last minute if my daugter is having a meltdown usually over something sensory. I feel that my friends don't understand what its like every day living with what comes with Aspergers (the nightmare mornings, the sensory overloads, the many meltdowns etc).

This is my life and I wouldn't change my children for anything but would be great to have some friends who can relate to the many stressful and challenging parts of our family life.

    I thought you might be interested in finding support groups in your local area as that's a great way to meet up with families similar to your own and find understanding friends. I've put a link below to the Autism Services Directory where you could have a look around yourself at what's going on near you.

    www.autism.org.uk/directory

    From there I had a look myself and found some local services which might interest you:

    That’s some information about the North Yorkshire NAS Branch which looked to have some possible appropriate groups.

    This forum is a great place for us all to share information and experiences anonymously and safely. It's helpful to share local information on here and exchange thoughts and ideas, but if you want to make direct contact or meet new people face-to-face, then that's not something that can be arranged here unfortunately. However, finding a local group to do that in could be very rewarding for you and your family.

    Good luck. :)
