Autism expert Geoff Evans will make his fifth visit to Maryport next month.

This time he will hold two evening meetings, both of which are already nearly sold out.

Stuart McDougall, founder of the Owl Blue charity who is brining Mr Evans here, said this time the focus will on inclusion.

Local sporting clubs and youth organisations have signed up for the evening which will give them insight on how to involve and include children, especially, who are on the autism spectrum into their activities.

Mr Evans' second talk will be about the under-diagnosed Pathological demand avoidance, a proposed sub-group of the autism spectrum. w

Mr McDougall said Mr Evans will also be holding one-to-one consultations but these are fully booked.

"When Geoff Evans comes to Maryport we have people from all over the county and Lancaster enquiring about attending his lectures. He is an expert but also down-to-earth and speaks in a way people can understand."

Mr Evans will be here on March 4 and 5. Both events are almost sold out but to enquire after the few remaining seats email: nichola@owlblue.org
