Well it's that time of year again, where did the last 12 months go? It's been a busy month here at ASD Ashford, so thought I would do a round up of the highlights.

On the 4th December ASD Ashford officially opened it' little office. This will act as a base for all our resources, there is a computer and printer that can be used as well. The office will be open twice a week for drop in's, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 till 2pm. We also have a kettle for those that just want to stop by for a cuppa and a chat! At our opening ASDA came along and presented us with a cheque for £100 after we collected the most green tokens in our box at ASDA Ashford. Thank you to everyone who put them in for us!

On the 10th December I was very honoured to be asked to attend The House of Commons by Anna Kennedy Online.
It was a wonderful day, and brilliant to watch Anna and her team present the findings of their survey regarding Autism Diagnosis, which received 2000 responses in just over 4 weeks! To read more about it and to see the survey results follow the link. Everyone at Anna Kennedy works tirelessly to raise Autism Awareness, and make things better for us parents, so a big thank you from us at ASD Ashford for all your hard work. If you would like to help further you can do so by signing and sharing the latest campaign.

The office will be open over Christmas, the office will be open on the 27th December, 30th December and the 3rd January 10 till 1pm. All contact details are on our contact
page.

So all that's left to do is wish you all a Happy Christmas and all the best for 2014!

Thank you for all you support,
Sam.

Introducing our Patron - Austin Hughes

Picture
Austin is a former actor/singer who in his spare time would volunteer and 
work in and around many disabilities. Not happy with some of what he saw, Austin  developed his own workshops.
His interest in autism grew from a friend that was on the ‘spectrum’. He 
learned how to build strong bonds and understanding by putting himself in the shoes of the person he’s working with – seeing life from their point of view.
After suffering a serious head/brain injury in 2007 Austin was left with his 
own disabilities which brought about a change in his career. Working within autism became his main focus as he trained and enjoyed working for the NAS.
He is currently Senior Behavioural Support and Training Officer for
Anna Kennedy Online.
Austin has been delivering training with ASD Ashford over the last 2 years, and has helped many of our members. He has always been hugely supportive of what we do as group, and it's fair to say he has been taken to the hearts of our families. 
It was with great pleasure that in February 2014, he came on board as our Patron.
