A2ndvoice - Autism Spectrum Disorder Special Edition January 2014 | Page 6

Autism does not discriminate… Getting the diagnosis is a start to helping your autistic child or young person, but how much do you really understand about Autism or Aspergers? And what information and/or support have you received to seeking help in caring and living with a child on the autistic spectrum? It’s best to be prepared, to find out what works for your autistic child. Early intervention is the key in providing a safe haven for your autistic child, but importantly you need to look after yourself. We have a habit of forgetting about our own needs and our family. The more information that is signposted, shared and distributed amongst Schools, Colleges, Youth Offender Services, Libraries, Local GP’s, NHS, Law Firms, HM Prisons, Banks, Emergency Services, Local Authorities, Public Transport and society on a whole. There would be a greater understanding of this complex hidden condition as many families isolate themselves from being judged. The best way to learn more about Autism and Aspergers Syndrome is to attend workshops and seminars. There will be various workshops, seminars and exhibitions across London throughout the year that we will be sharing.
