We strive to offer greater support to autistic individuals and their families.
Kate and Simon started SKY Autism Support in February 2010. It was set up by parents of autistic children and specialists in the field. The aim is to help autistic people and their families by offering both social and support groups.
Simon says: “Back in 2010, our son Jamie was just 14 and had received a diagnosis of ASD. We had really struggled when going through his diagnosis and then struggled to find the right school for him. It was a very lonely and anxious time. We started SKY as a parents support group and we now have over 130 families on the books! I still lead some “parent support groups” and I am very happy to talk to any parent who just wants to have a chat, please contact me.”
