My son Arthur was diagnosed with Autism last August aged 3 and a half.  Caring for a child with a disabling condition is really hard work but can be very rewarding. However, you can feel very alone at times and it can be a rollercoaster of emotions.  Having friends who are in the 'same boat' can really help as they understand.  OASIS puts people in touch, keeps you informed and they make a huge difference to many peoples lives.  The playdays for Autistic people and their siblings are fantastic - for some families they may be the only days out they get and are a real way to relax together.

OASIS are a friendly charity run by hardworking, parent volunteers for those bringing up children and young adults on the Autistic Spectrum. They welcome all parents, carers and individuals and can cater for all aspects of the spectrum, this includes classic Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome and other related conditions such as Sensory Processing Disorder and Developmental Delay.

OASIS aims to create a supportive community through family events, informal coffee and chat groups, evening speaker meetings and regular updates on our website of county wide events and information that will be useful to all.
