Berkshire autistic gaming group gains confidence at McLaren

A gaming group set up to help autistic children and young teenagers has had a VIP trip to one of the biggest names in Formula One thanks to BBC Children in Need.

Maidenhead's Autism Group runs a gaming, art and Pokemon group that meets once a month for young autistic people aged between nine and 14.

The group is self-funded and relies on Children in Need money.

Garrick Rahal, from the organisation, said gaming was a "language that everybody understands that helps them to feel safe, secure and helps them to feel like they fit in".
