Empowering Lives Through Understanding and Support
In the ever-evolving landscape of social entrepreneurship, the inception of Tistar for Autism CIC stands as an empowerment for countless people affected by autism. My journey towards establishing this community interest company was driven by a deeply personal experiences , a profound understanding of the challenges faced by those on the autism spectrum, and an unwavering desire to effect meaningful change.
The seeds of Tistar for Autism CIC were sown in my own experiences and observations. Having a close family member diagnosed with autism opened my eyes to the unique struggles and triumphs that characterise the lives of those on the spectrum. The initial confusion, the relentless search for appropriate support, and the joy of witnessing small victories formed the anchor of my empathy and determination. # Personal journey #
In navigating the world of autism care, I recognised a significant gap in the availability of comprehensive, compassionate, and tailored support services. Many families, despite their best efforts, found themselves overwhelmed by the lack of resources and understanding within society. This realisation formed my vision: to create an organisation that would not only provide support but also educate and empower autistic people and their families. # Identifying the gap #
