This August, I'll be cycling 330 miles across Europe to visit the twin towns of some of the places that North East Autism Society provides lifeline services for autistic children, young people and adults across the North East. For more than 40 years, North East Autism Society has led the way in providing autism-specific care and education for children and young people across the North East of England. Recognised for innovation and excellence, everything the charity does stems from an unswerving belief in providing bespoke, person-centred support. It's at their heart to recognise and celebrate the uniqueness of every human being, and to understand that no two people, within an understanding of neurodiversity, will have the same needs or wants. NEAS passionately believes that autistic children and young adults have significant skills and strengths, which can be developed throughout their lifetime. Thank you for your support.
