Hi there, my name is Liza Quin, I am 50 years old and I am married to Mark. We have a daughter called Alannah who is now 19 years old. At the age of 5, Alannah was diagnosed with Autism and Global Developmental Delay. And in 2019 was diagnosed with a Learning Disability.
I originally set up Autism Rocks (Fife) as a Facebook support group, due to the lack of any kind of support in Fife, for families and kids/adults with Autism.
There are no social activities or places that our kids or adults can go where they are not judged, stared at or bullied.
Nowhere can they be themselves, the person who THEY want to be.
I decided that having a support page would be a good place to start with, offering help, advice and support for other families who are just starting out on this amazing journey and also for the families who have been through, what most of us are going through, to give their experiences to help others. 
The best and most effective support are other parents (in my opinion).
Since I started this venture, the membership numbers have grown rapidly. And we now support over 2350 families.
Our goal was to open an Autism Support Centre in Fife, which would be the first of it's kind in the area - a place where there are no age restrictions or limits. Our centre will be open for all Autism families. A safe, secure, inclusive place to be who you want to be. To learn from and educate each other.

We have achieved our goal by opening Kaleidoscope in 2016 and have had many thousands come through our doors. And the numbers continue to grow..


Treasurer I Colin Davie

Bit about myself.

Over a number of years I've helped raise funds for various charities and organisations such as RNLI, Prostate Scotland, Fife Action in Autism, John Fergus School and also Autism Rocks. I like organising charity events ranging from Sportsmans Dinners, variety shows, Burns Suppers and Race Nights.

I have a nephew who is Autistic and this has made me more aware of some of the issues parents and families go through. I like to give as much of my time to help make the parents and kids life's that bit easier if I can.

I've helped out with the Autism Rocks group when I can, from bag packing, decorating the church hall and gardens and even playing Santa.

I became a trustee of the group to be involved a bit more and help when I can.
