Leeds Autism Services are a charity dedicated to helping to create a more autism friendly society. We have been helping autistic people to reach their true potential for over 30 years.

We campaign for the rights and recognition of autistic people, and believe that education and understanding of autism is the key to creating a more autism friendly society. We work with families, communities and businesses to encourage a better understanding of autism and are able to provide information, advice, bespoke training and consultancy.

Leeds Autism Services also provide specialist support for adults on the autistic spectrum. We realise that everyone we work with is unique, so our packages are designed to support people to identify and achieve their life goals, whatever they may be! Our Vocational and Community Services (VACS) provide daytime and outreach support 5 days per week for 51 weeks of the year.
