Meet Philomena Holt

I volunteered for the National Autistic Society a couple of years ago as my son has autism and I felt that I could help other parents with my experience now that he is grown up.

I really enjoy listening and helping parents relating to what they are going through. It's so rewarding when the parent says it's been so nice to talk to someone who understands. Lots of parents feel isolated so it's a good way of offloading their concerns or finding out information that NAS can support with.
