“When I first started PAS, I was a very shy person and didn’t know very much of what life was like in a workplace. I couldn’t have had a more welcoming group of people to work with than the PAS staff. I am extremely grateful to have had this amazing opportunity where I have learnt so much, not just about Autism, but what it means to be a volunteer. Even just a hour a week can make a change be it small or big. Volunteering at PAS has really helped to develop my confidence and my ability to adapt to an unknown environment.”
