Hello everyone - I am so glad I found this group! I am from the south of the UK and have been married for 20 years to a wonderful sweet man who has AS traits (undiagnosed) but very subtle, he can hold down a job fine but we have had many difficulties in our relationship and always working out ways to understand one another.

We have a son age 13 who was diagnosed with moderate/severe autism at age 3 and a daughter of nearly 16 whom we strongly have suspected for some years that she falls on the spectrum, albeit at the very high functioning end. I myself was diagnosed with Bipolar type II disorder in 2006.

Thats my short intro about me and my colourful family and I will post more about current issues in the parenting section.

I look forward to contributing and helping others as well as receiving support and advice.

Thank you!
