About WASP
The Autistic Spectrum and Aspergers - Promoting a positive difference
'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.
