Triple A's
(UK, SC045020) Browse events
YTD Raised: £490.21Triple As is an Autism Peer Support Group, where even our support workers, volunteers and executive trustees are autistic. We are aimed at people with autism above the age of 14. There's no upper age limit or other restriction other than the member must be on the autistic spectrum. Our main aim is to locate individuals who have become socially isolated, and help them surmount their oppressive anxiety and depression. When autistic minds are nurtured and well looked after, they can realise their potential. Barriers to this are:Developmental delays get confused for developmental impossibilities - so education stops.Melt downs are avoided at all costs. Avoiding melt downs is not a bad strategy, but this tends towards avoiding all stressful situations full stop rather than building up tolerance.This leads to significantly limited choices and exclusion. As autistic children become autistic grown ups they find themselves more and more socially isolated, and forgotten. The key to our success at Triple As, is that we take teens, and older, and help them build tolerance towards the world. Through autistic peer support and mentoring we find inherent understanding that knows when to push and when to provide respite. We acknowledge the harsh realities of life then gently encourage bespoke coping mechanisms.
