AutiSK

About us

We're a constituted support community group. For families who have children and young people with autism, anxiety and other disabilities/learning difficulties, we offer:

• social groups
• workshops
• advice and signposting to families

No diagnosis is needed to join our groups as we're very aware that it's hard on the pathway to diagnosis.

We have a fully functional sensory room that can be accessed for free via our social groups.

We welcome families from all areas of Stockport and surrounding areas.
