Autism Care At home

Whether you care for someone with autism or support a young person, we’re here to help. We offer personalised home support and respite care that is tailored to your needs.

Autism Support That Fits You, Not a Template

We understand everyone experiences autism differently—some may need full-time support and structure, while others may only need occasional help with daily tasks. Some live independently, others need help navigating the world around them. That’s why finding support that truly fits you, not just what we perceive the condition to be, is critical.

Here, we don’t assume. We listen, learn, and build a care plan that works around your strengths, preferences, and support needs—nothing more, nothing less.

What We Do


What is Autism

According to the National Autistic Society, autism is a lifelong disability and form of neurodivergence that affects how people communicate, interact with others, and experience the world around them.

Autism is a spectrum, which means every autistic person is different. Some people may need full-time support in their daily lives. Others might live independently and only need occasional help, or none at all.

You might also hear the term autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which is the medical name for autism. Some people still use the term Asperger’s, often to describe autistic people with average or above-average intelligence.

Autism isn’t an illness, and it’s not something that can be cured. It’s a different way of thinking, feeling, and processing the world. People can be diagnosed at any age, and anyone, regardless of gender or background, can be autistic.
