have you tried National Autstic soceity they might have something.
If you find anything please let me know, if have a 13 yr old son who is probably autistic and would be very interest in chatting to other parents.

Autism Vox. I just found this today! I'm pretty sure its in the UK. And about support from other parents - it can be good but be prepared to hear many different approaches to care and treatment of an autistic child. Behavior, full inclusion, food, etc. And also remember that you have a huge job ahead and I think you could really use some solid methods to get you into a routine. Its hard. I really wish you well.

Go online, a click google search using "autism parents forum and UK" turned up a number of hits.
Look for sites of organizations that have been around for a while and maintain clean and updated websites.
If you only want a forum look into how it's maintained, how many parents actually post information on it, and if their experience can help you. Autism is a wide ranging disorder and will affect every child and his/her family differently.
If it seems that the author is just trying to sell you something, encourage unsafe practices, or if the forum is full of spam, look elsewhere.
Good luck.
