For anybody in sunny Suffolk, UK, there is now a branch of the National Autistic Society (NAS) set up for the west of the region.
We had our official launch at the Suffolk Kite Festival where 30 of our Autistic Children and their helpers all had a go flying rainbow coloured kites in the main arena. There was then a 'comet drop' where we dropped 1200 small paper comets from a large kite and the nearest prizes.
Now we are up and running, we collected loads of membership forms on the day and can start sending details to all those on our mailing list.
We now want to start doing loads of activities in the region, starting with a family picnic in the late summer - details to be decided. A large number of our members have expressed a need to offer events and support to all with Autism, but especially teenagers and adults, for which there is very little help in our county.
