Hi there,
I hope you have found a suitable therapist. I am considering an offer in Riyadh soon for a job. however, I tried to do some research and I did not find any social groups running for children with autism. My main concern is that my son will loose out on socialising and making friends. I have my reservations about moving to Riyadh for this reason, can anyone help with any information in regards to socialising for children with autism. I home school at the moment, however I would like him to experience a good school in Riyadh for children with special needs. Any recommendations are most welcomed.
Thanks

However, the children with special needs such as Autism聽 should not be ignored no matter what and home school can help big tim. I聽 am also an experienced聽 therapist though new in Riyadh and haven't found a school yet.
