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.
