Hello everyone,

I have found my way here via google and hope to get to know fellow parents of children with Aspergers Syndrome.

My wife and I have a wonderful four year old son called who is currently undiagnosed, however we and our social worker are 99% convinced he has the syndrome. It is a constant battle with the Health Service in the UK for him to be diagnosed officially, but we hope to shortly be referred.

I am hoping there might be some fellow parents from the south of the UK (we are in Poole, Dorset) who are in a similar position to us.

Will also be great to share information and obtain guidance from the rest of the world.

My wife and I are only just getting used to the fact we believe Finlay has Aspergers, so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks all.

Will definitely check out the parenting forum. Is there a sleep one as that's where we seem to be having the most issues! (and always have done!)
