In short

What they offer

AsIAm provides an information line, written resources, training and community supports for autistic people and their families across Ireland.

They also work on advocacy and public understanding, including autism-friendly towns, schools and workplaces.

When parents find them most useful

In the early weeks after a diagnosis or a strong suspicion, when you want plain information rather than a search-engine rabbit hole.

When you need language for a school or a family member, and want it grounded in autistic people's own perspectives.

Common questions

Is AsIAm only for autistic adults?
No. AsIAm supports autistic people of all ages and their families, including parents looking for information and advocacy support.
Does AsIAm provide diagnosis or therapy?
No. AsIAm provides information, advocacy, training and community support rather than clinical services.
