ASD and ADHD support groups

[cogsyd]

Hello, I wondered if there are any carer support groups near Edenbridge, kent I could join. My daughter is currently awaiting an assessment for ASD and ADHD and I feel completely overwhelmed and would love to find other parents in my area who could give me some advice on how best to support her.

Hi ,I completely understand how overwhelmed you are feeling . My son has ASD and learning disabilities , he is 28 now but when he was first diagnosed I remember feeling anxious , scared and completely overwhelmed .

I wanted to be able to help him as much as possible .

I also live in Rochester in Kent .

I found the Kent Autistic Trust to be very helpful , they have carers meetings monthly although at present they are being held remotely because of covid .

They have a good family support officer and if you call them and speak with someone they will put you on their mailing list and also send you information .

The number is 01634 405168 .

Hope this is helpful, please let me know how you get on .
