Answer 5

Try contacting the National Autistic Society & see if they have anything organised, they should also be able to put you in contact with your local support group who may have something organised:

http://www.nas.org.uk/

You could also try contacting your Local Authority, if they have a specialist team who deal with Autism they may be able to tell you about anything organised in your area.  

Some of the Parent Partnership organisations also organise various projects so it might be worth contacting the one in your local area:
