I don't know where to turn. My son is 31 years old and lives at home with his father and I. He has never been officially diagnosed with autism but this is the nearest profile to fit him. He was statemented through school and attended a school for children with special needs. He has a part time job which he does well but has no friends of any age. His abilities are very skewed. He can read as well as anyone but his maths skills are limited to very simple adding and subtracting so that he can cope with buying something and check his change. His hand writing is like that of a 7 year old. The biggest problem is his lack of social skills which as he has become older, has become more of an issue. If I told you the nature of what has pushed me over the edge you would probably laugh and not see the problem. But he us unable to rationalise anything which impacts on him and is becoming increasingly aggressive which at 6'3" could be a real problem. Can anybody tell me where I can go to get some help and advice in my area (East Yorkshire)? I feel at the end of my tether. We moved to our current address 14 years ago and at that point my two sons and husband changed GP to a more local surgery - I remained behind at our old one Therefore, It will be difficult to seek help from his gp, who is not my gp and has no knowledge of all the issues which have led us to this point with our son. Any help will be most welcome I feel absolutely desperate
