"The service I received today gave me a better chance of coming away with a better energy and perspective."
“I was diagnosed later in life and after my assessment was completed I was signposted towards the one stop shop. From the minute my initial phone call began it was clear I would be provided with hope in that I would have access to an abundance of appropriate and informative resources through groups and one to one sessions. This has allowed me to begin the process of understanding ASD has impacted upon my life this far and how new and improved knowledge and understanding can help me shape my future."
