Activities
Holiday activities
doing things that families do
Holiday activities are setup so that families can join in and be included in a safe space. This is all the family, siblings are welcome, encouraged and celebrated as well as their brothers and sisters with autism.
Workshops
Talks and workshops for staff, clubs and organisations
We come to you to help you understand autism, parenting autism and working with families living with autism. We create a safe, fun environment to learn about how everyone can create an inclusive, supportive community for the neuro-diverse and their families.
Phone consultations
Talk with a real person (a parent) that gets it.
If the support meetings feel too scary, or you can't get away, then book a time to talk one on one with someone that has lived it. Ask those questions that seem to hard to ask anyone else.
​
Home visits can be arranged. To keep our volunteers safe we cannot go to homes of smokers. But are happy to meet in a public place.
Art group and art n chill
Getting together to beat isolation, with or without a paint brush
Come along and create some art or just chill with others, be part of group, without pressure, judgement or expectation. A safe space to have a chance to make friends or art or both.
​
There are currently 2 groups running for ages 4-14 and our new autistic adult group.
