Hi, my son (8) has only just been diagnosed with asperger's. We decided to home school him before we found this diagnosis out and have just started. We live in East Ayrshire and I was wondering if there was anyone else out there in East Ayrshire who would be interested in meeting up? Or if there is any advice folks could give me on home schooling an autistic child. Thanks!
Hello Cupcake and SamF,
I'm very sorry but unfortunately we can't allow users to exchange personal contact details here. I hope you'll understand that we have this broad policy in place to protect any potentially vulnerable users and aren't able to be flexible on that in any circumstances at this time.
I am glad to see that you have already found your local NAS branch and would strongly recommend giving that another try. Details of branches in Scotland can be found here:
You can also search for details of parent support groups in your local area using the Autism Services Directory which might be a good way of meeting families in similar situations:

In the meantime you can always chat here on the discussion forum which might be useful in itself.
Also, Cupcake, here's some website information on home education which may be of interest:
Good luck with everything.
