Autism NI Helpline

A vital and much in demand service is our Autism NI Helpline, this is often the first point of contact pre and post diagnosis. The challenge for many is finding out what relevant services there are locally, what resources have been useful to others, who the local professionals are and what they do and how to access further information or services. Autistic individuals, parents/carers and professionals use the service to seek information on a wide range of issues related to autism. Providing practical and emotional support, a listening ear, enhancing networks and coping mechanisms, the Autism NI Helpline bridges families to appropriate services in their area. Our Helpline is a regional service, available Monday to Friday from (9am – 5pm), by telephoning 028 9040 1729 (Option 1).
