Earlier this year, Scott Gurney received his autism diagnosis and decided to launch his own fantastic autism aWEARness apparel venture.
Scott says, "sometimes you need a label to help others treat you appropriately and to better understand you."
We appreciate, as always, that these t-shirts will not be for everyone but hope that some of you will support Scott in his new venture and we wish him the very best of luck! If you would like to comment, please offer words of encoura...gement to Scott.

The fantastic play Living with Luke is coming to Braintree Arts Centre.

My son had a fantastic day at cinema city,thank you so much for the competition,and all you do,to help children and adults.x

It looks as though you are doing fantastic things. Good luck Autism Anglia.

DEEP SHAME on Bernard Jenkins. He should stop being so greedy and help others less fortunate than himself.

I myself have Aspergers & have a daughter with Autism so it is nice to know there is a support network in place, activities we can do where we don't feel 'awkward' & people we can talk to who genuinely understand.

I have set up a group for special events being held in Clacton at the Cinema, Space kingdom and Rascles for children with special needs. parents can check for up and coming events its called (Special Events For Special Needs in Clacton) I will also post any events hear that come up

My son was diagnosed with non verbal autism and i was told to ring the dereham office which I did a couple of times,but have not since as the lady I spoke to on the phone was quite rude and unhelpful. I felt like I was an inconvenience to her. I understand that they are a non profit organisation, but people who answer the phone should be a least kind caring and considerate.
