Help building new relationship, understanding, meeting and communicating needs wants and wishes, wanting a girlfriend

Are there any dating, relationship groups in South Wales? My son LD 16, is really wanting to find a companion friend, to begin understanding about relationships

I would google to find what might be available in your area. If your son has a social worker they should have a list of everything going on for the learning disabled in your area. If he doesn’t have a social worker the LD team at social services should be able to help. Also if you have a CARERS Centre near where you live they should also be able to help. Look them up and give them a ring.

i knoww my local PHAB group used to have an 16 and under group at a youth club,but it was in a area that was very rough-as in...anything not tied down including the people woud be trashed or stolen etc, so it woudnt be one id recomend especialy for youngsters,howver i used to attend a mencap gateway social group-id ask mencap thru their contact us page if your local one has aany under 16 groups running in your area.

you will find more independant groups will be offering social services,rather than big names, so ask around local forums,the learning disability team etc.

i have a server and am still in the proces of setting up a free social site for adults with learning disability as theres nothing for us out there, id love to set up an under 18 section of its own but its whether itd get used as well as getting moderators thats the problem as it cant all work with just one person.i use OSSN software for the network-it looks like the facebook format.
