I’d like to start a new group-meeting in West Oxford , for parents who , like me have children with AS who are aged 17 and over and who are moving into adulthood. There are a couple of venues I have in mind which would offer coffee or wine and snacks too, if required. It would be primarily a social group where people could share knowledge and experiences of life post school. I am sure it will not be dull!!!
If you are interested in coming along please send me an email telling me what nights/times are best for you and then I will pick a date that suits as many as possible, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
