Poor support in Scotland

SamF

Hi all,

I just wanted to know if other people felt the same as me about the support and training oppertunities in Scotland. Maybe its just my area?? I am feeling very alone at the moment and seem to be runing a trial and error approach with my 16year old son. He was only formaly diagnosed in July and I thought at last I can get some support and find out how to help him properly. I was so wrong!!!!I have  now resorted to contacting my Local Authority to almost beg them to put some sort of training courses etc in place as I see that many councils in other areas do this. Dont think anything will come of it but hey I tried !

    Thats great you have found a good group. I hope it works well for you. It is amazing what a bit of support from people who understand can do. Im registered with my local carers centre but didnt know they did support groups but i will definatly look into that. Thanks loads. fingers crossed.
