Help and Support
If one member of the family has Aspergers Syndrome every member of the family is affected. Unfortunately living with Aspergers 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 Societies ‘Make School Make Sense’ Campaign has resulted in the beginnings of change at a Governmental level. However there are things you can do to improve your situation and to help improve other people understanding.
Below is a list of people and organisations who may be able to offer you help and advice:
