Supporting World Autism Awareness Day
Today, we recognise our DSC members who also have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis.
This dual diagnosis can sometimes be overlooked because individuals may not fit neatly into the typical profiles of either condition.
We know that parents often face challenges in getting a dual diagnosis, as their concerns may be dismissed when their child doesn't display the "expected" traits of just ASD or just DS.
At Down Syndrome Cheshire, we support our members with a dual diagnosis through our "Your Space" group, offering a calm and inclusive environment for those who may find certain activities overwhelming or physically demanding.
If you have an 18+ DSC member who would like to attend our weekly Your Space sessions please contact admin@dscheshire.org.uk
Our next holiday session includes Lego Therapy on 16/04/2025 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm — a fun and engaging way to support communication and social skills.
