Autism NZ - Canterbury & West Coast

I received so much information and helpful advice! It is such a treasure to have Outreach Coordinators with lived experience.

Extremely helpful, if only we didn't have to go searching blindly for help like this

Friendly people and atmosphere

The site said it was open but when we arrived, it was shut. Been trying to get hold of them for support, but no reply to emails or phone.

Wonderful library and a very supportive crew of professional people who understand ASD and the challenges that being a parent with a child with ASD and what that entails.

I was at breaking point when I phoned and asked for help today.....my family are crisis and I desperately needed to find support and help to try and ensure that my adult son who has autism specific needs are considered by the courts when we reach a court hearing...any plans or court orders must support him to understand the way he reacts to situation......asking a person with autism to attend a course with groups of people they dont know where the proposed changes aren't tayl8r3d for them is setting people up for failure......so I left with a clear plan and information to inform the courts and hopefully influence them......tonight can arpt least rest my mind..thanvyou Austic NZ
