Advice on Aspergers support groups or similar in South London.

DJIngham

Hello

My 19 year old daughter has recently come to live with me and she has an Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis.

 While generally we are doing well she has problems at College which are can cause problems for her and those around her.

Additionally I find she is very much a loner and has few if any friends locally.

I wonder if there are any groups in the South London area which may offer her the opportunity to socialise in an environment sympathetic to her condition.

I will be grateful for any help.

Hi D J Ingham 

I dont live in London but I live in the midlands and can very much understand what your daughter is going through i have aspergers syndrome im 20 and have been builled at school and now unable to keep a job and feel very lonely, i dont mind chatting if that helps as i sit in the flat all day and go to the library for 2 hours a day and use the internet for free and dont have any support groups near here.
