Here at ASD Ashford it has been a busy week and we wanted to share our exciting news with everyone.
Nearly 2 years ago now Austin Hughes, came down and delivered some training for ASD Ashford parents.
Since then he has been coming down regularly to train and support parents from the group.
He has become some what of a household name, and been taken to the hearts of many of our families.
It is with great delight that today I can officially introduce Austin as our new Patron.
To coincide with this exciting day we took the opportunity to reveal our new logo.....and we couldn't let any of this pass by without an excuse for cake!

Introducing our Patron - Austin Hughes

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 was Senior Behavioural Support and Training Officer for
Anna Kennedy Online, before becoming Community Sports Manager for The West Ham Foundation. www.whufc.com/news/articles/2018/january/03-january/celebrating-another-fantastic-year-work-community

Austin has been delivering training with ASD Ashford over the last 4 years nd 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.
