On Friday 1st April we are asking for people to wear their brightest, craziest socks to work or school in return for a small donation to Autism Anglia! World Autism Awareness Day takes place the following day, when people all over the world will unite to raise awareness of autism. To join in the fun, simply wear your silliest socks on 1st April, donate as little as £1 and help your local autism charity continue providing essential services across the region. |

This is Alex. He used to find it difficult going to the shops, because busy places with lots of people would cause him distress. Autism Anglia’s Family Support team helped Alex by providing his family with advice and practical solutions. As a result, Alex can now cope better with busy places and is able to enjoy going out with his family. |

A BURNHAM carer whose husband, son and daughter suffer the same crippling disease has taken advantage of a vital support programme.
Sylvie Richards has looked after her husband, 43-year-old John, for the last 20 years as he suffers from Huntington’s Disease.
To make matters worse for Sylvie, both her son and daughter have also been diagnosed with the devastating illness, and her son, who was diagnosed 12 years ago, now lives full time in a care home.
