Grandparents’ Network

Welcome to the Grandparents’ Network Forum. 

Being the grandparent of a child or adult with autism presents particular challenges:

• being involved - but not directly
• needing information - but not as a parent
• needing support - but recognising the greater pressure on parents.

We have set up this important forum so that grandparents to offer contact with others, as well as provide information and opportunities to be involved in the work of Autism Speaks.  

If you have a grandchild or grandchildren with an autism spectrum disorder and would like to talk to other grandparents in the same situation, please post your comments here.

If you feel you would like to do something more to help us find out what is causing autism, why not help us raise awareness and funds  in your community. For more information, please contact Philippa.stannard@autismspeaks.org.uk.
