Specialist care and support that helps people with autism live life on their terms.
Autism is a lifelong condition that’s often recognised in childhood, but it can also be identified later in life.
Autism is not an illness. Being autistic simply means your brain works differently from others. It is a different way of seeing, understanding and interacting with the world.
Autism is a spectrum condition, so everyone’s experience is unique. Just like anyone else, autistic people have their own strengths, challenges and preferences.
Tailored Autism care and support
We understand that autism can affect the whole family, not just the person themselves. Our team is experienced in supporting people with autism and we work closely with health and social care professionals to help you live the life you want. Whether support is needed in your own home, in supported living, or in a residential setting, we are here to help you feel included, understood and in control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered with Care
01What is Autism?
Autism is a lifelong developmental condition that shapes how a person sees and connects with the world. It affects how someone communicates, processes information and relates to others. In the UK, it’s estimated that over 700,000 children and adults are on the autism spectrum.
02What are the signs of Autism?
Every autistic person is different, but some of the common signs include:
- Difficulty understanding and expressing emotions or social cues
- Finding it hard to cope with change or unfamiliar routines
- Sensitivity to sound, light, texture, or crowded spaces
- Repeating behaviours or sticking to familiar patterns
- Struggling to communicate or interact in typical social situations
Some signs may be noticeable from an early age, while others might appear later in life.
03Is Autism an illness?
No. Autism is not an illness and doesn’t need to be ‘treated’. It’s simply a different way of thinking, feeling and interacting. While some people may need more support than others, being autistic is part of who someone is — not something to be cured.
04Can you live a fulfilling life with Autism?
Absolutely. With the right support in place, autistic people can live full, happy and independent lives. We help tailor support around each person’s lifestyle, preferences and goals — building confidence and choice every step of the way.
05How are your care teams trained to support people living with Autism?
All our care workers complete the nationally recognised care certificate. We also provide additional training specific to autism, delivered by our own clinical leads and experienced professionals. This training helps our teams understand sensory differences, communication styles and how to provide consistent, compassionate support that respects each person’s individuality.
