Helping Hands Autism Support Group was formed in 2008 by parents who wanted to build a better future for their children, who had a diagnosis of Autism and Asperger's syndrome. As Helping Hands is organised and managed entirely by volunteer parents, all of the funds we raise go directly in assisting the families of children affected by autism and Asperger's syndrome. We take great pride in being able to help families have access to literature, equipment, training courses, therapies and facilities. The support network we have created by bringing our families together, has been invaluable in helping the family as a whole. Our free play sessions are open to the siblings of the children affected by autism and Asperger's, therefore the isolation felt by the whole family is greatly reduced.
