Supporting individuals, families and professionals in Southern Hampshire and beyond

There are an increasing number of people with autism, including Asperger syndrome, in the local area. Living and working with these people brings great rewards as well as challenges.

There is often social isolation of people with autism and their families. The branch can help in a number of ways.

We welcome anyone for whom our group may be a helpful resource.

Support group
Our monthly parent support group is for parents/carers of children and young people with autism to meet to exchange experiences, skills and understanding. We often invite guest speakers who can advise on aspects of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Branch members also have access to our extensive resource library.
Family Youth Club
We operate a monthly, Saturday afternoon, family youth club for these children, their siblings and parents.
Childrens' social group
We have fortnightly social meetings for children (along with their families).
Adults' social group
We run a fortnightly friendship group for adults and older teenagers (16+), who take part in activities and have social outings.
Teenage youth clubs
We are able to signpost young people with autism (over 13) for referral to a local weekly teenage youth club.
Social events
Social events also take place for the benefit of individuals and their families.
Contacts
We have regular contact with other local support groups.
