Help and Support
If one member of the family has Asperger Syndrome every member of the family is affected. Unfortunately living with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or living with a member of the family with AS can mean that you all feel isolated, misunderstood and alone.
Things are changing slowly for the better. We are making progress and more people are beginning to hear the message. The National Autistic Society's ‘Make School Make Sense’ and 'I Exist' Campaigns have resulted in the beginnings of change at Governmental level. However there are things you can do to improve your situation and help improve other people's understanding.
