Went to an ASD support group last night, yay!!:)

[Ineedalife]

It was the first time I have gone to one, it was a bit wierd to start with sitting with real people who understand what each other talking about. I am used to talking on here but not really anywhere else.

There were quite a few there and unsuprisingly most of us either have had or are having issues with school.

It is a new group so we will have to see how it goes but I for one hope it continues because the lady who started it has some really good ideas.

You don't have to answer this I just wanted to let you all know that something good was happening in the world of ASD.

Glad it went well . I went to my first one last week, I thought it was just a coffee morning at the school and thought I'd show my face as I don't know any parents of ds's new classmates. I was quite surprised to find it was a support group (I'm not a natural joiner-in-er so would normally avoid), but I met some nice people and got fed choccy biscuits so all was fine . Sounds like the opposite of yours though, we spent the whole time saying how lucky we are that our dcs are at such a fab school!

I was one of the lucky ones TBH, pixel, Dd3 is at a brilliant school now but we have had a horrible experience before we moved her.

We were fed cakes which was a bonus. I am glad you enjoyed your surprise support group.

Good for you! Glad it went well :)

But be so nice to feel you click into place with people that UNDERSTAND!!

Must be so nice....................
