Aspergers syndrome?

krissy

I have a young family member I am so worried about and would like some advice about this condition.

Hello Krissy, Welcome to the forum, I hope you'll find it helpful and supportive. I hope you don't mind if I point you in a couple of directions that might be helpful. We have a guide to Aspergers syndrome.

You could also contact our Learning Disability helpline, they provide information, support and a listening. You can reach them on 0808 808 1111. The National Autistic Society also produce a lot of good information on Aspergers syndrome http://www.autism.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=225 They also have a helpline 0845 070 4004. I hope this proves a helpful starting point.... Best wishes, Lucy
