Managing Autism - A Personal View

Recently my mum, Geraldine, organised a fundraising event to raise money for organisations supporting autism.  We held a morning of pampering where guests were treated to facials, foot spas, hand treatments, massages and reiki.

This post is in thanks to my mum and the 4 other wonderful ladies, Katherine, Jacinta, Shannon and Cynthia, who so generously gave of their time to ‘pamper’ our guests.  It is also in thanks to the group of beautiful ladies who so generously gave donations to the cause.

A fabulous time was had by all - indulging in total relaxation, champagne and scrumptious finger food.

We had the opportunity to share Jack’s story, and the story of what many families face when living with autism.  We highlighted some of the challenges that parents and families face, but we also celebrated the many wonderful things that people with autism bring to our lives.

Our goal was to raise understanding and awareness of autism in a positive way, and at the same time raise some money to help families - goal achieved!
