Hello,
I'm brand new to mumsnet and hope that someone will be able to point me in the right direction.
My teenage daughter has just been diagnosed ASD, after 8 years in the diagnosis system. While it's no surprise to me, I could really do with support from a discussion forum of mums in the same situation. I've previously searched through all ASD websites, including those listed here, but when I click on links, pages can't be found, when I email no-one replies and when I call the number is not answered. The NHS have been unable to offer any guidance as to where I might find support in parenting. I am neurotypical but both my mother and brother and ex-husband have Asperger's. Ironically, I'm the odd one out! It would be great to talk to those who understand how stressful it can be parenting a child with ASD, even one as wonderful and funny as my own.
Here's hoping!!! :)
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
