Annette – Trustee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charity supported me when both my boys were diagnosed with ASD, so I\u2019m glad to give back.

The skills I bring to the charity are my experience of being a mum of 2 autistic children as well as the understanding of the pressures that brings to the family. I enjoy helping the charity at events & fundraisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
