A safe, non-judgemental and fun environment for children and young people with Asperger syndrome or High Functioning Autism, from the age of 8. We meet every Wednesday during term time at the Intake and Belle Vue Children's Centre between 5.30pm and 7.00pm. There is a table tennis table, a Wii, a small pool table, games, toys, arts and craft materials, Lego & K'nex etc. We also have is a tuck shop, where you can buy a selection of crisps, chocolate bars, canned pop and other drinks, all very reasonably priced. Every month we have a cooking or baking session, we hold sponsored events, go out for meals, and have a yearly trip to the seaside. There is even a separate sibling's room, for those kids wishing to spend a little time apart from their ASD brother or sister. Parents enjoy sharing a cuppa and a chat, and offer support and advice to each other. It's a great chance for kids to make new friends, which opens up new opportunities for social development both in and away from the club..
