Please note: It’s important to remember that each diagnosis is unique to the individual. There are personal, LA and regional differences in diagnostic routes and available interventions.
If you’re concerned your child has symptoms of ASD, and you wish to pursue a diagnosis, you should seek professional advice from your GP, Health Visitor or SENCo to ensure you’re referred to the correct services in your area.

ASD Superpowers
We think it’s time to shine a light on the positive traits and strengths, and champion each individual’s differences!
People with ASD have their own personal attributes and skills on top of ASD superpowers, such as creativity and out-of-the-box thinking! Giving different perspectives opens minds of others, and presenting ideas and communicating creatively allows a wider sensory experience for everyone.
