PAACT<br />
Parents and Autistic Children Together<br />
Autism is a neuro-developmental condition that<br />
affects how people make sense of the world around<br />
them. People who have been diagnosed with an<br />
autistic spectrum disorder typically have difficulties<br />
in three main areas: communication, imagination &<br />
interaction. Many also experience sensory issues,<br />
such as extreme sensitivity to sound.<br />

autism support...<br />
PAACT is a group of parents and carers whose<br />
children are on the autistic spectrum. Our aim is<br />
to provide help, support and advice. We hold<br />
both evening and daytime support meetings<br />
for parents and carers. The evening meetings<br />
are held at St Peter and St Paul’s church hall on<br />
Skellingthorpe Road, Lincoln at 7.30pm on the first<br />
Thursday of each month. They are an opportunity<br />
to have a drink and a chat, share what’s on your<br />
mind and meet people dealing with similar issues.<br />
Our daytime meetings are at the same place on<br />
the third Thursday of the month at 10am.<br />
We also organise subsidised activities for our<br />
children and young people during the holidays;<br />
we have hired Fun Farm and Playzone, met for ice<br />
creams and crazy golf at Daisy Made and visited<br />
the fire station. We have a busy summer schedule<br />
planned too! We also hold a monthly games club<br />
for members over the age of 8.<br />

process of receiving a diagnosis, contact us at<br />
