Hi

I've been trying to find a careers advisor that specialises in Aspergers for my son. He has no idea what he wants to do or even what he is capable of. Does anyone know of a service like this in the UK. We live in Aberdeen but would be willing to travel.

Basically I want someone with a knowledge of what is available and of dealing with Aspergers, to talk to my son, assess him and point him in the right direction.

Thanks for reading this.

Hmm....there must be resources. Firstly, try NAS (if you and your son have not already): http://www.autism.org.uk/working-with.aspx
In Aberdeen you would have NAS access.

Plus the Wrong Planet is a good resource for you both to explore. I am sure he'll find a suitable position where he can excel. All the best, belstu :)
