Axia ASD September 2020 PDSG presentation by Renwick Bromiley

Welcome to this months Post-Diagnostic Support Group video presentation (currently replacing our regular PDSG meetings). This presentation from Axia ASD is introduced by Kieran, one of our new team members, followed by Renwick Bromiley discussing his insights into autism in relation to mental health environments. Finally Calvin and Ren discuss their thoughts on games, consoles and what to buy.

Since Renick created his slideshow, the National Autistic Society have revamped their website, so here is the new link to their “Health Passport”.

References mentioned in the video can be found at the end of this post.
