o’s November Aspierations Meet Up
On the 24th of November the Aspierations and Autieness FB group made their way from different corners of the UK to meet friends they had spoken to daily online.
Some had met face to face at previous meet ups, some hadn’t and the expressions of happiness plus the joy of the children playing was a wonderful sight to behold.
These friends are a support network and give each other strength in a world not always accepting of the neurological difference that is Autism.
Autism is what has touched these friends lives, why they met and the bonds that have grown from meeting online are intricate, essential and of great importance to all of us.
Nando’s in the O2 offered their hospitably by hosting a two hour free of charge meal for our parents, adults and children!
We were treated to four jumbo platters of peri peri chicken mild or spicy, sides and unlimited soft drinks.
Nando’s turned the music down and did everything they could to make us feel welcome, we were given the middle floor with our own wonderfully helpful waiter with frozen yogurts for the children’s deserts.
To the wonderful manager and all the staff at Greenwich 02 Nando’s, you made a wonderful socialgathering possible and we fully enjoyed and appreciated it.
My thanks to Cathy Withnell and family, Therese Johnson and family, Laura Chase, Matthew Poutney, Bill Appleton, Simon Barnes, Teresa Lake and Paulina Majgier for attending and making the day so special.
