SO WHAT IS AUTISM?

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others.

People with Autism, see, hear and feel the world differently to other people. If you have Autism, you have Autism for life; Autism is not an illness or disease and cannot be ‘cured’.

Autism is a spectrum condition, sometimes referred to as Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). People with ASC share certain difficulties, but these will affect them in different ways. Some people with ASC also have a learning disability, mental health issues or other co-morbid conditions, meaning people need different levels of support. All people with ASC learn and develop. With the right sort of support, all can be helped to live a more fulfilling life of their own choosing.

The Fun Day was absolutely superb, the magician captured Jack's imagination he was mesmerised. The Samba band were brilliant, usually he avoids such things. Today when we were walking back to the car Jack noticed a house for sale, he said, "mummy look, we can move here to be nearer to my space". Says it all really. All the staff and volunteers have gone over and above, thanks to everyone for making our summer so memorable and such fun

I love volunteering for Space4Autism and have learnt a great deal and met some smashing folk in the last 12 months.

What a success last night was, the food , the service, lovely atmosphere and good company. We both really enjoyed ourselves and look forward to the next signature evening.

I have never seen such an example of good practice, the services Space4Autism are providing is outstanding.

Just wanted to say a big thank you, we had a great day out watching County today. Thanks so much for the tickets and all you do.

A safe space for all families affected by Autism. Support with housing, benefits and more. Social groups for 0-100yrs and an autism friendly cafe where you can come and chat or just chill. A Wonderful charity who listens, helps and cares.

Great, safe social place for my son to go to. Fun Fridays are fun, the professional drop ins are a real help.

I just popped in out of inquisitiveness today and I was treated to a full Q&A and tour. Very impressed, lots of services for children and adults plus parents. The sensory room is AMAZING. If they can provide services in Macclesfield, why is there nothing where I live in Stockport? Thank you to the staff for your time.

I have come to Space4Autism for a few years now and I think its amazing. It has helped me so much with my confidence and I have met lots of friends just like me.
