The name ASK, besides meaning Autism Spectrum Kiwis, reflects the growing recognition, internationally, of the importance and value of ASKing us: consulting AS individuals at all levels.  See HERE for information on AS.
.
ASK Trust endeavours to foster:
  • acceptance of our unique AS differences.
  • ways of helping AS adults live to our fullest potential: for instance by using our strengths to circumvent areas of difficulty, rather than trying to change who we  are.
  • understanding of AS enlightened by ‘insider perspectives’.

ASK Trust offers:
  • for general public and professionals: ‘insider’ perspectives through our own presentations and workshops, links to the writing of adults on the spectrum, and our library comprising a comprehensive selection of books for, about and by AS adults, plus a range of other books of interest to AS adults, families and professionals.
  • additional benefits for members including peer-support meetings; subsidised (currently free) use of our library, and workshops on common issues such as managing anxiety, stress, and conflict. See HERE for further information for members, and how to join.
