All I Want For Christmas

I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need. 
I don’t care about the presents, underneath the Christmas tree. 
Make my wish come true. 

All I want for Christmas is YOU!

As part of our ongoing work around neurodiversity and autism acceptance, this Christmas we'll be shining a light on what autistic people and their families from across our region really want for Christmas - and beyond! 

From autism acceptance to more support for families, reducing diagnosis times to more employment opportunities for neurodiverse adults, we’re making it our mission this Christmas to highlight what we can all do better.  

We’ll be offering some unmissable stocking fillers in the form of videos, downloads, interviews and stories all designed to help make Christmas great – and to start conversations that will hopefully snowball.  

Best of all – you can get involved!   

Whether you're part of a school, business or an individual looking to host your own event - by taking part, you'll be helping us to continue the round-the-clock services we provide to hundreds of autistic individuals and their families.

Register today to receive a festive fun-raising pack filled with ideas on how you can sleigh this Christmas.
