@pamelacelia I see. That is frustrating! I checked out the Autistic Society of Trinidad and Tobago on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/autisticsocietytt/
I'm not sure if you're a part of this group but it looks like they host monthly meetings in San Fernando, and have a list of schools that are accommodating to students diagnosed with ASD. But anyway, I know how hectic it can be to travel to in-person meetings especially if they aren't nearby. Sometimes online communities are more helpful.
Here is a global support group called "Autism Mamas" https://www.facebook.com/groups/339749279805390/
They have one for dads too.
There's a special sort of warmth to the community here on Mayo Clinic Connect, so I see what you mean and I hope you'll continue coming here for support 🙂

I'm actually not a member of that group, I'm in another group called Autism Spirit, they usually post links from ASTT, the group operates out of two locations that are quite some distance a way from us, about 3 hrs drive either way I belive they have two branches so getting to a meeting is very difficult, thank you for replying to my comments and for taking the time out to research resources and groups available locally, I just need to find a space where we can fit comfortably. The schools are either to expensive or far away, so that's a whole other issue, I don't really have anyone close by to help out should I go to a meeting and I need someone to pick up the children if I run late or anything so I'm kinda between rock and a hard place.

@ayeshasharma, hi, I am on the Spectrum myself. I worked in Special Ed for eighteen years. I have a precious grandson who is in an inclusive classroom at school. He is on the Spectrum and is a sheer delight to us all.
Supporty McGroupface is a support group I highly recommend. I am on Facebook and have tons of special needs advocates , moms, therapists, and friends who advocate for our buddies. Feel free to look through and see if any click with you. Jane Peterson.
Love and hugs sent your way.
