The Enfield Branch of the NAS was set up by parents in 2005 to support and represent local people living with autism and their families and Carers.
The Enfield Branch is a totally voluntary group of parents/Carers with children on the spectrum, and independent adults living with autism, supporting each other, and striving to enable local people with autism to thrive and lead the lives they choose.
