Post Diagnostic Support Group

Every six weeks, we host our Post Diagnostic Support Group for adults aged 18 and over who have previously been assessed by us. We also welcome parents of children who have been assessed by us.

We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive, welcoming environment at every session. We invite a different guest speaker each time and encourage members to share their thoughts and experiences, helping us learn from and support one another.

To join our Post Diagnostic Support Group you have to be:
18+ Years of age
Previously Assessed by us (or the parent of someone previously assessed)

To register, please email social@axia-asd.co.uk with the name, date of birth and assessment date of the person we assessed. If you are joining as a parent, please provide your childs details.
