Autism Berkshire

Autism Berkshire is the county’s leading autism charity, offering a wide range of services to support autistic people of all ages and their families.

 

We provide the Berkshire Adult Autism Support Service to help autistic adults (18+) throughout the county, on behalf of the Frimley NHS Integrated Care Service and the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West NHS Integrated Care Board

 

This free service provides advice, workshops, courses and activities for those who have an autism diagnosis or are waiting for assessment, and their parents and carers. Face-to-face advice meet-ups are also available at venues in the east of Berkshire. The service is specifically funded to provide support to autistic adults who do not meet criteria for help from other NHS-funded services, such as mental health and learning disability teams.

 

Visit our website for full details of this service or email adult.support@autismberkshire.org.uk to contact our advisers. Please include a daytime telephone number, so our team can contact you.

 

Autistic adults can also join our weekly Bear With Me social group in Maidenhead and the Walk & Talk activity group, which meets fortnightly for walks in the Slough and Windsor & Maidenhead areas, and we run Fun Days for our members and their families at the Thames Valley Adventure Playground in Taplow.

 

Our Helpline service, available on weekdays on 01189 594 594 (option 1) or by email at contact@autismberkshire.org.uk, can provide advice and information about autism and signposting to sources of advice and support in Berkshire.

 

Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm
