About Us

South Tipperary Autism Parents Support Group, is a voluntary group of parents set up In 2001 In response to the increasing number of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our parents have always been the core strength of the group. Our confidential monthly meetings provide support for parents/carers to come together to broaden their knowledge and share experiences of ASD, where new members are always welcome. Our main focus is on our kids and our family's, because lets face it they are amazing. We organize many social activities throughout the year, including swimming, , day trips, festive parties, and a jam-packed August summer program. All activities are fully inclusive for the whole family, .
