Getting a diagnosis of autism or Asperger syndrome can be a really positive thing, but now that your partner's received their diagnosis you may be wondering, 'What next?'

Our short guide, What next?, tells you more about the support and benefits your partner may be entitled to, and how The National Autistic Society can help you. You can download a copy below (please note: we'll be publishing an updated version in Winter 2011).

What next? has been written for adults with autism but will also be of interest and relevance to partners.

If you would like to read information specifically for partners, you'll find some on our website. Visit www.autism.org.uk/partners  You can also read our article about relationships.

You can call our Autism Helpline to talk through any issues or questions you may have. Tel: 0808 800 4104 (open Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm). Calls are free from landlines and most mobiles.
