Would like to meet Apsergers families Coventry / Warwickshire

Oresteia

Hello,

Our daughter was "recently" diagnosed with Apsergers earlier this year (aged now 5). We would love to meet up with any other families in the Coventry and Warwickshire area, who in particular have daughters, maybe between the ages of 4 - 8 who might like to get in touch and possibly meet up.

Best Wishes

Parents

  • Hi Orestia,

    Just wanted to highlight that, for now, we can't allow people to share contact information through the Community, so that we can guarantee this environment is a safe and secure online space.

    However that's obviously a bit problematic when people would benefit from meeting other people but it's something we can't make any exceptions for.

    So if people can suggest social groups or events in the area that wouldn't be a problem but we'd ask that people don't share contact details. Sorry, we're aware this is likely to be frustrating.

    There are some services in Coventry that you could explore, where you can meet other parents and people on the spectrum. Searching the Autism Service Directory will get you more results but here's a few that came up -

    The Autism Resource Base, Coventry offers information and resources and organises group meetings and seminars.

    Coventry Action for Autism offers a chance to meet other parents and discuss the issues related to autism, it sounds friendly and informal and could be a great chance to meet other people.

    The Get Together Support Group may be focused more on adults but it could be helpful to speak to them to see what they can offer.

    But do have a look at the directory and see what else is on offer and again, sorry we can't facilitate people getting in touch with each other through the Community.
