About the SAS. Shropshire Autistic Supporters

Welcome to the Shropshire Autistic Supporters. We are a support group that caters for anyone interested in autism, carers supporting someone with autism and anyone who is autistic.

Shropshire Autistic Supporters was founded in January 1996. At that time Shropshire had no support on offer to help people understand and deal with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). We are a registered charity, we received status in 1998 and our charity number is 1072404. We rely on donations, enabling us to run social events, for example, swimming sessions (one hours swim, only for families and carers dealing with autism).

We are a group prepared to help anyone dealing with autism, offering emotional support and practical advice. If we cannot answer your query we will find someone who can. Throughout this site you will find a variety of topics covered which we hope will be of help to you. Joining and membership of Shropshire Autistic Supporters is free of charge – as are many of the activities we provide. There is a yearly charge of ten pounds to receive our monthly posted newsletter. As a founder member, 12 years later, I still look forward to my monthly read.

All of us at Shropshire Autistic Supporters, have personal experience with autism, we are able to empathise and are happy to help with both practical advice, tips and support to help you deal with life and the ups and downs of autism.

Check out the link through our Yahoo chat site, you are welcome to join, just follow the steps through the process. On the Links page you will also fine many more links to other support groups and services offering help. The more help you get, the better you will feel. We all hope we can help you and your child or adult who has a spectrum difference. There is comfort to be gained from knowing others understand how you feel. We look forward to hearing from you.
