| Name of Organisation: | Hampshire Autistic Society |
| Headline: | Improving the Quality of Life for People with Autism |
| What We Do: | The Society is an Independent Regional Charity situated in the South of Hampshire, as is the school and residential services but many of our children and adults come from out of County. The Society offers direct services to over 100 children and adults on the autistic spectrum as well as providing Outreach support to many more. A robust development of services is our priority as the needs for services in the Region vastly outweigh those that we are able to currently offer. At this time, it is estimated that more than 16,000 people are affected by autism in Hampshire alone. |
