If you need to find local autism services (schools, counsellors, local groups, diagnostic services) in your area, you can search on our Autism Services Directory - please browse by categories and refine by your local area.
Our online community is a place for autistic people and their families to meet like-minded people and share their thoughts and experiences.
Find your local branch
We have 117 local branches led by amazing volunteers. They are places to meet other autistic people and their families and to find out what's going on in your area.
Due to increased demand, there may be times when it gets very busy and we may not be able to get back to you as quickly as we would like. We aim to respond to urgent enquires within 3 working days, other enquiries may take a little longer.
You may wish to refer to our online guidance and advice in the meantime.
