“The support and advice we have received from HAFS and continued to receive has been invaluable” - Mr & Mrs Wooding #TestimonialTuesday #YNAA

All autistic people are geniuses – Myth. Just under half of all people with an autism diagnosis also have a learning disability. Others have an IQ in the average to above average range. 'Savant' abilities, like extraordinary memory, are rare. #FactsFriday #YNAA

“Our son has been supported in all areas of his ongoing developments, from education to physical and mental wellbeing.” - Julie and Chris Cavanagh #TestimonialTuesday #YNAA

[HAFS @HAFS_Halton]

Some autistic people don't speak – fact. Some autistic people are non-verbal and communicate through other means. However, autism is a spectrum condition, so everyone’s autism is different. #FactsFriday #YNAA

“HAFS services are vital to families of children and adults who have autism.” - Mr & Mrs Wooding #TestimonialTuesday #YNAA

[HAFS @HAFS_Halton]

Autism is a mental health problem – Myth. Autism is a developmental disability. It’s a difference in how your brain works. Autistic people can have good mental health, or experience mental health problems, just like anyone else. #FactsFriday #YNAA

“HAFS is a wonderful service advocacy support group. It has helped me so much I would not have coped with my autistic son without the help from HAFS.” - Mrs B Hall #TestimonialTuesday #YNAA

[HAFS @HAFS_Halton]

Autism affects both boys and girls – fact. There is a popular misconception that autism is simply a male condition. This is false. #FactsFriday #YNAA

“HAFS is a well-run organisation, we know that if we ever need advice or help with anything we can turn to them and they will support us.” - Lorina Ditchfield & Steven Neill #TestimonialTuesday #YNAA

While autism is incurable, the right support at the right time can make an enormous difference to people's lives. #FactsFriday #YNAA
