The Sutton branch of the National Autistic Society (NAS) is run entirely by unpaid volunteers, many of whom are parents / carers of autistic children. NAS branches in England provide a local hub where parents, carers and autistic people can get help, access services, support each other and meet other people and families in similar situations. NAS Sutton does this through organising: Evening workshops for parents and carers with guest speakers discussing a variety of topics, Special needs behaviour support group every month with Mark Brown from Special Help 4 Special Needs for parents and carers,Monthly support group and social group for adults with autism, Regular activities for the whole family to enjoy such as theatre trips, climbing sessions and slime workshops, Our ever popular monthly Lego club for children, Introduction to Autism course twice a year for parents and carers who have just received a diagnosis for their child, We also signpost to local support where possible, and run two Facebook groups, one for autistic adults and another for parents and carers of autistic children.
