'WASP With Asperger Limited' is a Not-For-Profit Social Enterprise which began life through the directors of the company trying to gain personal insight whilst supporting adults with Aspergers and recognising the lack of available understanding, services and support for individuals and their families. It is our belief that this contributes to difficulties experienced by those on the Autistic Spectrum. In combining the qualities we all possess as individuals, our vision is to work together in promoting collective ideas to others who are interested in providing a positive way forward.

Company Number: 6451194

Company Formed: 2007

We are currently seeking contributors. Whether you are an individual on the Autistic Spectrum, a parent, a professional, or all three with a passion for this area and would like to contribute, we would like to hear from you.
