Become a member

*We would like to make you aware that our membership governance structure is currently under review. We are undertaking a consultation with existing members at present and hope to confirm the new model by the end of June 2013. Our membership is still open to parents looking to access our Right Click programme but we ask that all other prospective members wait until July when our new governance structure will have been agreed. If you have any questions, please contact us on 01259 720 044 or email autism@scottishautism.org.

Meeting other Members 

Throughout the coming year there will be a variety of ways in which you can meet other members. This year we are offering a range of smaller Knowledge Share seminars that are offered at a low cost. We hope members will join us in supporting these events. And of course there is the winter AGM where you can have your say and meet the Board.
