FIRST CONTACT AUTISM
WELCOME TO FIRST CONTACT AUTISM
WHO WE ARE
First Contact Autism (FCA) is an organisation that wishes to provide information to individuals about the experiences and concerns of those living with autism. We hope to grow together in your journey of understanding autism so that we can provide a more comprehensive account of what parents need to know the moment after their child is diagnosed with autism. That is - we hope to be the first contact of those with autism - hence our name.
