Registered charity number: 108387
Downpatrick Autism Family Support Group is a small registered charity based in Downpatrick, Co.Down. DAFSG was founded in 2017 by 2 local parents who felt there was no support for their families both before and after an Autism diagnosis. They joined forces and went about setting up a parent's support group.
We want to make a practical difference to the children and young people & their families by providing a strong support network. Our activities and events are a good way for families to get to talk to one another and realise they are not alone. It is very important to have the opportunity to meet others who understand the daily challenges & struggles they face as a family. We want to remove the isolation felt by both autistic children & their families.
