Parents of children with autism?

Hiya, I posted a couple of days ago when I was starting my journey. I'm keen to find friends who are, like me, trying to lose weight but are also parents of children with autism.

I'm not trying to be exclusive and I'm looking for any friends really who are fighting the weight loss battle but sometimes it's nice to "talk" to folks in the same boat!

Hope that makes sense ;-)

    Hi I have a son with aspergers you can add me if you want. How severe is your son's autism?

    I've a lad with high functioning autism and another lad with Aspergers. My lad with Aspergers, in particular, can be challenging at times but he can't help it (as you'll know)!
