About

Resonate: Creating Communities

…is simply about finding your pack or a community you can resonate with and feel part of. Which can be especially hard for Autistic people living in a rural community like Dumfries and Galloway. We want to change that, by creating communities for people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders ( or ASD). These communities can be based on a shared interest or a space. What they all have in common, is something which connects them. This may be a shared flat, housing community or even being members of a group. What is important is being with people who understand you. They don’t judge you. You can be yourself with them. More importantly, you resonate with them.

We aim to make Autism more visible in the region and highlight many of the positive attributes of Autism.

Our Story

Resonate has been the pipe dream of Catherine Phillips our founder for many years. She draws on 30 years of experience working in Education, Youth Work, Health and Social Care, and Community Development. She also has personal experience of growing up in an Autistic household and having kids on the spectrum.

None of it would happen, if not for the board. Who have stepped up and offered their help.

We have a committed and passionate board. They bring to the project a wealth of knowledge and skills. They also share their own personal experiences of living with Autism.

Projects

Resonate are now developing several projects.
