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 run by a totally voluntary group of parents/carers with autistic children, young persons and adults with autistic adults. The branch aims to bring together a community where they can support each other, and striving to enable local people with autism to thrive and lead the lives they choose.
