Helpline closure

Please note: the Autism Helpline closed on 9 June 2021. 

You can find out more why we had to make the difficult decision to close the helpline in this blog from our Chief Executive, Caroline Stevens. 

If you are in crisis or need urgent help, find out who you can contact here. 

We continue to run a wide range of advice and support services for you: 

• Our Advice and guidance section has information on a wide range of topics, including what autism is, diagnosis, mental health, education, communication, and many more. 
• Five specialist helpline/casework services relating to education rights, school exclusions, autism inpatient mental health, transitions from school, and parent to parent emotional support.  
• The Autism Services Directory where you can search for autism services across the UK. 
• We have branches and our online community which offer peer-to-peer support.  

 Once again, we are very sorry that we have closed the Autism Helpline.
