We support autistic people to lead as independent lives as possible in residential care or in their own or family home.
We provide a free autism information helpline offering a first point of contact for autistic people, parents, carers and professionals.
We provide advice and support sessions for families and carers of autistic children.
Our community-based services enable adults to access support within their localcommunities. We help to build people’s resilience, skills and confidence to enable them to lead happier and more fulfilling lives.
