| Aim of Portsmouth Autism Support Network |
|---|
|
Portsmouth 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. In this first secion on the website we have also illustrated some of the events that we do hold, so you can see some of the events that have taken place with great success and much enjoyment from the families. There is also important information on how you can access the outreach support Worker. There is no official referral system, and to recieve help, information or advice on one or more of the areas listed below please call Jenn on 07777665546 or e-mail via the contact us tab via the webpage. Life with ASD Living with ASD can be exhausting and at times feel like you are living in a "minefield" as you wait for the next "melt down" to happen. Are aim is to be there to offer words of encouragment, join with you in laughter at some of the situations that do occur and above all help you realise you are not alone. Unfortunatly many people can feel isolated due to living with someone with this condition, through the network numerous families have been able to realise they are not alone, and they can relax knowing that whatever their child/ children does will not cause a reaction from anyone within the group. We are all here to help, support and encourage one another. |

| Great South Run....Sponsor Kevin and Raise Funds For PASN. |
|---|
For two years running Kevin Bradshaw kindly took part in the Great South Run to raise money for PASN. His efforts, hard work and constant training raised essential funds for the group and we are indebted to the amount of time and energy he put into raising funds for the whole group. Unfortuntaly Kevin will not be taking part in the run this year so if there is anyone who would be willing to take his place and help to raise funds we would love to hear from you!! Thanks again Kevin for all you did to help so many families within PASN |
