ASN year out

Autism Support Network was started with the aim of helping and supporting all families and children affected by Autism/ Aspergers at all stages and in any way possible. It is not essential to have a diagnosis to come along to these groups, in many cases the waiting time to receive a diagnosis can take over two years and during that time people often require a great deal of help, advice and support from other parents and that is what we try to offer everyone. You may have many questions concerning Autism and Aspergers and would like to speak to someone directly. Autism is treatable. Children do not "outgrow" autism, but studies show that early diagnosis and intervention lead to significantly improved outcomes. Many people with ASDs have unusual ways of learning, paying attention, or reacting to different sensations. The thinking and learning abilities of people with ASDs can vary – from gifted to severely challenged. It lasts throughout a person's life. Autism Support Network is very happy to help you and for your ease they will allow you to speak and exchange of knowledge directly to the people who can help, advise and support you and your family which promote further understanding and serve as a platform for individual’s stories of success and challenge. The Autism Support Network connects families and individuals touched by ASD with each other, provide support and insight, and acts as a resource guide for treatments, strategies and therapies.
