| Profile: |
At All About Us we bring together those diagnosed or are going through the diagnostic process of autism and associated conditions, their siblings and their families who live in our community. We concentrate on the positive qualities our young people have, many people have preconceptions and concentrate on the negative side of autism. At All About Us we encourage a ‘sense of place’ through connecting the community with the activities that we organise and run. People with Autism are more comfortable and engage better in a familiar place, somewhere they can go to feel safe, to gather with friends, or spend leisure time. At All About Us we provide the opportunity to do this while basing activities which help to support our young people to deal with the issues they are facing in a safe and tailored environment opening up opportunities to learn new skills and gain knowledge. By providing these opportunities, we aim to empower our young people making them feel valued and important reducing social isolation and improving personal self-worth. Our ethos is “Just because my normal is different to your normal doesn’t mean we aren’t equal” |
