I too am interested in this thread onmyown. One of my DGC has just been diagnosed as on the autistic spectrum and I am worried about how they will cope. Like all grandparents we only want for them to be happy.

Try www.asperclick.co.uk . Don't know where you live but there are quite good services in the Lothian area. There is a Scottish ASD strategy which focuses on adults. In England there's also a strategy but I don't know how it's getting on. I can say more if you have specific questions

You've started the thread yourself onmyown tchsmile

My daughter has a friend who is on the spectrum we also suspect my son is. It was DD friend who suggested we have DS tested. As her friend obviously knows the signs. We are seeing GP initially after Christmas.

I was googleing last week and saw that Aspergers is a term no longer used by the professionals and that patients are simply deemed to be on the Autistic spectrum. It didn't give any explanation as to why.

I'm sure there must be support forums out there. Though I haven't looked.

Anyone on Gransnet dealing with this themselves? I need to know. I have an adult friend who would like to join in Gransnet health debates.

Are there any support groups are out there for people like you and me who are on the Aspergers spectrum? Anyone want to start a thread? tchconfused
