AuKids is an award-winning quarterly parenting magazine for carers of young children on the autism spectrum. Its upbeat ideas are wrapped in a colourful package designed to inspire and entertain.The magazine is the result of a parent-professional partnership between Stockport-based journalist Debby Elley, whose twin sons have autism, and specialist speech and language therapist Tori Houghton, who is also the director of Time Specialist Support, a dedicated support agency in Manchester for young people on the spectrum.Debby says: "Parents love its practical content and humour which draws on their own experiences. Professionals love AuKids because they get a parent perspective on autism".
