Our Group

The North Queensland Autism Support Group advocates for better services and support for those affected by Autism.

While we are working in the community to achieve this we also recognise those individuals and organisations who are “Autism Friendly.” Once per year we nominate and award those who show care and consideration towards the Autism community.

Members are welcome to borrow from our library of books, papers, CDs & videos, about Autism and related disorders, from reputable sources such as Tony Attwood, Wendy Lawson and many others.

A quarterly newsletter is distributed to members, which has up to date information about local and worldwide Autism news and events.

Social mornings are held on the fourth Friday of the month at McDonald’s, The Lakes, at 10am. While having a cuppa members can share information, ideas and experiences with others who know and understand. The parents in our group have children who range in age from the very young to adults. We also have adults who themselves have been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
