We've got http://www.nas.org.uk/ over here, I don't know what your local version is.
Do try to get a hand. I used to babysit for some local kids, including taking a lovely autistic girl to Brownies. She picked up a few skills like cooking and sewing (and burning off steam in the local park), I got to learn how to deal with challenging kids, her Mum got 2 hrs peace a week and the local kids got to learn how to deal with intelligent and healthy peers who just happened to have issues with comprehension and attention spans. Win all round.
