Berkshire
All of the below organisations I have personally spoken with or attended webinars or events. Depending on what support you may be looking for they may be able to help you.
I have tried the best I can to ensure they are neurodiversity affirming and they have only made it here due to interactions I have personally had with people from within the organisations.
AutAngel
AutAngel is run by and for the Autistic Community.
I have attended a number of their webinars which were insightful.
If you are an Autistic adult looking to connect with your Neurokin they offer a number of peer support groups for people in and around Reading
Centre for Autism - Wellbeing Hub
Reading University Centre for Autism has just launched their Wellbeing hub. 09/11/23
I attended the launch remotely and I am looking forward to see how it develops. Especially seeing Andy Smith from Spectrum Gaming is involved.
I will update this as I learn more but you can get more details at the below link.
The Autism Group
Maidenhead based charity that hold parent support groups in Bracknell.
These can be booked via email and directly
Parent Support | The Autism Group
They also offer free home visits for parents with children awaiting an assessment or recently recognised as Autistic.
In addition to this they run some training workshops.
The workshops and home visits are booked via GEMS ADHD and Autism Services East Berkshire on 01753 373 224 / 0800 999 1342
They also run clubs for young people in their Maidenhead site which is a great way for your child to connect with their neurokin.
My family have had first hand experience of this charity as my daughter attends one of the groups.
