resources for autism
Resources for Autism is a registered charity whose vision is a society where individuals on the autistic spectrum can live as equal citizens in their community. We provide practical services for children and adults with a diagnosis of autism, and for those who love and care for them. We see autism as a neurodevelopmental difference that can affect how an individual perceives the world and relates with people around them. Our fundamental starting point is acceptance for an individual exactly as they are. We work with those around them, including parents, teachers and other professionals, to ensure each individual is understood and supported to be the best version of themselves they can be.
ABOUT US: 

Resources for Autism is a registered charity whose vision is a society where individuals on the autistic spectrum can live as equal citizens in their community. We provide practical services for children and adults with a diagnosis of autism, and for those who love and care for them. We have a team of trained, enthusiastic and kind staff and volunteers offering a wide range of support. All our staff are autism specialists who understand communication and sensory needs. We operate in London and the West Midlands.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

Our services work with people of every age and stage of life. The people we support come from a variety of ethnic, social and educational backgrounds. Many live with other conditions alongside autism, including learning disabilities, mental health problems, ADHD or diabetes. We specialise in offering support to people who have been excluded or do not have access to other services
