Welcome to the National Autistic Society NI web pages where you can find updates about our work in Northern Ireland. We have two specialist autism centres in Northern Ireland, one in Carryduff which opened in 2019 and our most recent one in Randalstown which is in the process of opening. From the two centres we run day services for autistic adults with high support needs and in the evenings and at weekends we deliver a wide range of programmes for autistic children, adults, and their families. One of our major campaigns “Forgotten Voices” is aimed at improving services for autistic people with high support needs and you can read the stories of some of the families we are supporting through our campaigning work. We hope you enjoy reading about our work.

Introducing our Northern Ireland Vision to Reality Strategy

Guided by the Moonshot Vision plan, our new Vision to Reality strategy 2023-2026 defines the unique role the National Autistic Society Northern Ireland will play in creating a society that works for Autistic people. It outlines the beliefs, ambitions and priorities that will guide our work.

Whether you’re an autistic person, family member or ally, a partner organisation, a staff member or Trustee, a volunteer at your local branch, a committed campaigner or fundraiser – or perhaps several of these – this strategy helps define a set of shared objectives so we can change the world together.
