The Professional Autism Project held its 26th weekly meeting at the Queen Street Resource Centre. They finished writing up notes from their last meeting with Kevin Bond and a review of a book on mental health for the autism spectrum. Andy Kay nominated the project for a community award from the Grimsby Evening Telegraph. Members discussed promoting the Positively Autistic Community Organisation by distributing recordings of their radio show on CD and doing a promotional article in the Grimsby Evening Telegraph. They received approval for these ideas and may also approach a local TV station. Over 60 people have nominated them for the community award since it was announced on their websites.
