Hi, I will keep this short as I am sure there are tonnes of similar threads...
my ds is 8, has ASD, is currently in MS school with a one to one TA (statemented) I am thinking about the future and about whether I/we can do better for him than school... (am thinking about on-line school, and then a social skills and life skills programme I can write/implement, as a possibility, or even full straight HE,) just wondered what groups/opportunities/activities are around in the area, as I would like to make contacts...

any links or experiences gratefully received, thanks

Hi! There are definitely HE people in your area. I live in a neighbouring county.

Try this:
groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/NWilts_HE/info

or here is a Facebook group if you like that better: www.facebook.com/groups/SwindonHE/

There may be others but those will get you started!

Their former main website www.nwilts-he.org.uk/ appears to be broken and hasn't been updated for some time - I don't know if there is a new one.

Hope that helps.

thanks, I had found the defunct website and didn't know where to go... I have now made contact with the group, thanks Saracen, much appreciated.
