Celebrating Val Lindsay's Retirement

12 October 2025

Earlier this year, we said a fond farewell to long standing Trustee Val Lindsay, who retired after more than four decades of dedicated service to Autism Plus.

Val was one of the founding members of the charity, helping to establish Autism Plus alongside a small group of parents with an extraordinary vision - to create better opportunities and brighter futures for their autistic children and others who would follow.

Throughout her time with us, Val brought passion, tenacity and integrity to everything she did. She was a tireless advocate for quality, honesty and openness, and her commitment shaped the strong values that continue to guide Autism Plus today.

Val’s contribution to our journey has been truly remarkable. Her leadership, compassion and unwavering belief in our mission have helped transform countless lives. We are deeply grateful for all she has given and wish her a very happy and healthy retirement.

“It was extremely helpful having Autism Plus workplace assessment to help us in working with an individual diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, giving us a better insight of the syndrome so we could offer more appropriate support. The assessor was knowledgeable, understanding of the circumstances from a business perspective and really tried having a full overview of the situation. The report came back to us within the promised time frame and full of recommendations on how to best accommodate the individual needs, which was really thorough and supportive.”
