Further support for adults

The Autism Integrated Service provides information, advice and support to autistic adults and to parents of autistic children:

General support

Living independently

Sensory

Processing everyday sensory information can be difficult for autistic people. Any of their senses may be over- or under-sensitive, or both, at different times. These sensory differences can affect how they feel and act, and can have a profound effect on a person’s life.

To learn more about sensory differences see the information below:

Autism and communication

Many autistic people have difficulties associated with social communication and social interaction. Such difficulties often stem from others not having the understanding or experience when it comes to communicating with autistic people.
