Once again, we welcome back Meg Pickard from DaisyChain to deliver another of Autism Central's informative sessions. The topic that will be discussed is overwhelm/meltdown/shutdown.

Date: Monday 20 January 2025
Time: 10am-12pm
Place: The Station, Richmond DL10 4DL

Parking: There is plenty of parking available at the venue, and it is £1 for up to 2 hours, and £2.50 for up to 4 hours. Disabled parking is free.

Accessibility: The session will be in an upstairs room and will be sign posted. There is a lift available if needed. The room has access to its own toilets.

Our groups are run by our friendly team of volunteers who are parents or carers themselves of children with additional needs. Your child doesn’t need to have a diagnosis and we welcome anyone who is a parent or carer to a special child.

There will be light refreshments available, and a chance for you to chat with like-minded people, make new friends, and for us to support and advise each other through our collective experiences.
Please feel free to bring a friend or family member with you and contact us in advance if you are feeling anxious at the thought of coming to a new place and meeting new people, or if you have any special requirements yourself.

No need to book, just turn up! We look forward to seeing you!
