Don't Leave Them Behind

Welcome to Don’t leave them behind which aims to become a leading voice for persons with ASD. Our objective is simply to improve the lives of all persons on the Autism Spectrum and to support the families and friend of people with Autism.

We are a campaigning platform which will highlight the actions required to ensure that people with autism never fall so far behind that they can never catch up.

We will provide parents and carers with up to date quality information and resources.

We want to create a community of advocates who will support parents who advocate on a daily basis for the family members with ASD.

Don’t leave them behind will highlight issues that involve the lack of provision of adequate and appropriate services for people with autism.
