We understand that living with someone who is on the autism spectrum may be difficult and may cause strain on other family members and their relationships. Being able to access support and advice on a one-to-one basis or simply talking to others who are in the same situation as yourself can really help with the day to day lives of both the individual and their family.

Our family support will:

• empower family members, including parents/carers, siblings, extended family, by raising awareness and understanding of how autism and associated conditions impact on the person they live with
• explore effective ways to adapt their communication when interacting with the person they live with
• find resources and strategies to support and develop the strengths and needs of the person they live with
