Autism awareness day April 2nd

[hanaka88]

I want to organise something to mark this day as I really think we need to raise awareness of the 'invisable disabilities' any ideas?

can MNHQ get someone on for a webchat or something? Lots of famous folks have AS for example

Maybe... But there isn't really any Autism groups up here. I was thinking like maybe run or something easy to organise ... I probably should leave it having enough on my plate but I want to raise awareness. maybe a run? I dunno lol the idea has just come to me

In Gloucestershire the local NAS runs an annual day of lectures with various speakers such as Ros Blackburn or Tony Attwood. Do you have any local support groups that could be rallied?

Oops didn't read your post properly, obviously. How about something simple like a coffee morning in an ASD child friendly location ( if there is such a thing)

No not around here I don't think I could try find out. Been doing se research and think maybe a walk or hiring a room and doing fund raising for research for autism. Having some good quotes printed on t-shirts etc?

Is anyone in the north west uk that would wanna help?

what day of the week is it?

It's a saturday. I'd be interested in doing something also

Yeh definately need something doing to mark it I can't think though. Maybe I'll just ask if we can have a non uniform day towear different coloured clothes to raise money for autism on the Friday before? Or a big sponsered walk?

Coffee morning sounds good... Didn't notice ur second post but wouldn't know where to find other parents of sn children
