Our work especially involved families caring for someone with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and encourage parents to join and share their experience for effective local action and personal support.

We do not claim to be medical, educational, legal or an expert in autism - we are the expert in our own individual children.
We hope to save irreplaceable time and recognize the value of and demand for shared parental experience. In this website, we offer no more than this
