We provide services to the families in Halton who have a child or young adult with a condition within the broad range of ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorders).
“HAFS is a group that is there to support any child, young adult who have been diagnosed with ASD.” - Julie and Chris Cavanagh #TestimonialTuesday#YNAA
“A massive thank you to HAFS, for helping me be able to celebrate all the amazing things Jordan has achieved as he becomes a man to be proud of” - Mrs Julie Owen #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
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
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 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
