Wiltshire Autism Pack
A guide for parents and carers who look after someone on the Autistic Spectrum aged 0-25 years.
Has your child or young person recently been given a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Condition? (This term includes the whole Autism Spectrum including Asperger’s syndrome). Or are you supporting or looking after someone with an Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) and are thinking “What do I do now?”, “Where can I go for support?”, and “Who can I turn to?”
This local information pack has been developed by parents and carers who have children and young people with ASCs themselves. It aims to signpost to relevant agencies, services and resources in Wiltshire which can help with concerns and questions. It also contains information on some national organisations, websites, books and resources that may be useful.
(This is a PDF of the whole pack, which is quite large, it has to be saved to the computer before it can be opened, which might take a few minutes.)
