North Devon Forum for Autistic Spectrum Conditions and ADHD
We are a parent/carer led support group, established in 1992 by a group of parents and professionals concerned with children on the spectrum.
Our scope soon widened to include adults and ADHD alongside related conditions detailed below.
The Forum gained charitable status in 2017.
