Im still building this site, any suggestions or information you would like to see on here let me know. I want to cover the challenges of ASD, ie: food, behaviour, transitions to kindy or school, home schooling options, sensory issues, toileting and then provide direct links to people in Nelson specifically that can help with those things or websites or other resources also. I want to know who you found, how it was, how it helped, where they are, it might just make the difference for another family.
Ive been adding links, books and dvds that Ive found helpful. If you have any please put in the comment so I can add them to the links for everyone. ;>

Welcome to ASD Aspergers Support Group in Nelson
Welcome, to what I hope will be a very helpful tool for people in Nelson who have children on the ASD spectrum. I found during my ASD journey, as Im sure you have, that there is alot to learn and alot of resources to find so I wanted a place to share resources we find in Nelson.
Also connecting with other parents and caregivers is invaluable, but it occurred to me that due to the very nature of ASD that parents and caregivers were not always able to meet face to face. So I wanted a way to have a connection and a way to be in contact with others on the ASD journey. The very act of being connected is a support! so welcome and I truly hope this helps!
Also a BIG thank you to Autism NZ - Nelson, they have been a fantastic support and wealth of knowledge (Viv and Jill you are fabulous you know), also Marion in Christchurch, and you guys all work so hard to get us together and help us with the information that we need. Also Trish from ASD Plus, thank you it really did and has made a difference and turned our home life into a positive one!
