What Help is Available for My Autistic Child?

We are a team of parent carers of autistic and neurodivergent children who understand the challenges faced in navigating the journey to diagnosis and getting the right support in place for our children. We come from professional backgrounds that understand the systems, and together with our experience and training we have come together to share our skills to make other people’s journeys easier. In January 2024, Autism Arena CIC, a non-profit community interest company, was founded to help parent carers of autistic children navigate health & social care, education and leisure.
