Friday the 10th July was the Autism Conference at the Shirehall Shrewsbury. Soph
and I attended, as did Sara, who runs the Adult group Autonomy. I had an
information table and Sara and Autonomy had group information available and
members of Autonomy displayed their works of photography and poetry. It was
lovely to see some familiar faces including old members of Shropshire Autistic
Supporters, who were there to gain information which will support their children
as they grow toward adulthood. We at Shropshire Autistic Supporters would like
to thank Autism West Midlands, especially Kirsty, Jayne and Helen, for all their
hard work. I believe that another Autism Conference is planned for November,
watch this site for an update as regards the details of that. Best wishes,
Linda.

Just to clarify that the Family day being organised by I can 2 is for children
and families of children who are disabled or who have additional needs. To
confirm it is at the Telford Internetional Centre on Saturday 4th July 2009
between 11am and 4pm. If you need further information you can contact Helen
Irvine on 01952 385923. Enjoy your day if you are attending. Linda

The National Autistic Society is in the process of setting up a Telford Branch
and we are currently holding regular 'committee' meetings that anyone is welcome
to attend.

Currently we are planning a launch day in September with Geoff Evans as a
speaker - some of you may have seen him at the Madeley Court Hotel event
recently?

If you would like to be involved please just turn up at one of the next
meetings: Thursday 2 July or Thursday 16 July 2009, 7pm, Southall School or you
can email me on jayne.stevens67@... or via this message.

Many thanks and best regards

Jayne Stevens

I've just campaigned with The National Autistic Society to ask my MP to support
the Autism Bill, which aims to challenge the exclusion from services that many
people with autism face.
They need 100 MPs to go to the debate on the Bill on Friday 27 February.  MPs
don't usually meet on a Friday so they need as many people as possible to email
their MP and ask them to vote for the Bill.  So far, 59 MPs have committed to
attending so your email really will make a difference!   Please click on the
link below to take part in this campaign action now.
http://www.campaigns.autism.org.uk/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do?ea.client.id=10\
&ea.campaign.id=2285
Thank you!

Meeting at 1030am Thursday 5th February 2009 at the Shropshire
Education and Conference Centre, Royal Shrewsbury Hospital. Meeting
open to those with Autism, or other disability, their families and
carers. If you would like to attend please telephone 01691 830662, to
let them know so that they can be sure there is enough seating. Please
respond no later than Friday 30th January 2009. Best wishes Linda

Hi Caroline

It's nice to hear from you and thank you for the latest newsletter -
the information on sleep was really interesting and something I'll be
looking at further.

Hopefully we'll aim to get to swimming at the end of November.

Many thanks and best regards

Jayne & Lee Stevens (Matty and Jess too).

I have just been reading the home page.  I have been a member since
March this year but have never had a newsletter so never have any idea
what is going on in the local autistic community apart from reading the
messages.

Hi,
Im new, I have five children two of whom have autism.
My eldest son 20 was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome when he was 14
and my youngest son 13 was dianosed with autism two months ago .

Hi there

Where has everyone gone.  We really enjoyed the swimming activity and
since then haven't heard anything else.  Have they continued or has the
group just come to a natural end . . .

Cheers  Jayne xx

--- In No Jayne just go to the reception desk and tell them you are
from the group and they will point you in the right direction.
Caroline Trevor will probably be there
