Autism - Who Can get help?
Logo of a multicoloured ribbon used to denote Autism

We work with people with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) who require help and support in order to live independently.  This type of support from outside the family is called community care.

Community care includes getting help with housing, social problems, independent living and health.  It can sometimes include help with employment.  To find out if a person with an ASD can get community care support, he or she will need to have their needs assessed.

Adult Social Care provides help to those who most need it.  If the team cannot help you, they will put you in touch with people who can help you.
