Memorials
AUTISM ADVISORY AND SUPPORT SERVICE
A special way to honour a loved one when they pass away is by offering friends and family the opportunity to make a memorial donation to Autism Advisory & Support Service to celebrate their life, instead of sending flowers. Your ‘in memory’ gift will be used to support the vital work of AASS.

Dominic is in all the places and all the spaces where our lives unfold each day, that often we find ourselves in stunned disbelief knowing your absence is real. We were four. Together we stopped at nothing to understand, learn and find relief for your pain. You fought long and hard to heal, we fought long and hard for you, But the relief you desperately needed didn’t come soon enough. Now you fly high and pain free. Now we are three. The three that meant the world to you. The three through which the best of you will remain alive in this world as each day our lives unfold through all those familiar spaces and innumerable places, where we are still four – Julia, Daniel and Samuel Scutella
