INFORMATION FOR
PARENTS OF CHILDREN NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM
Research has
clearly highlighted the importance of post-diagnostic support for parents and
carers of children and adults who receive a diagnosis of an autistic spectrum
disorder after pre-school age.
In response to
this The National Autistic Society has developed the help! programme which aims to address
the initial needs of all parents - no matter what the age of their child.
If you are a
parent or carer of a child with a recently diagnosed autistic spectrum
disorder and are interested in attending the help! programme please complete
the form on the NAS website or
ask for a copy from the office. The NAS will then inform you if a programme
is being run in your area or whether they have added your details
to their database for future programmes.
