The Autism Directory is a registered charity (no.1143855) working to support individuals and their families at a grass roots level in the community.
Only 16% of autistic adults are in employment in the UK, however 70% of our workforce are autistic. Our team have such a diverse range of talents, from our creative team to our directory team, which means we can really draw out and encourage their talent.
Our Help Hub is a vital source of support and information for many within the community and beyond. As of July 2019, Our Help Hub has received 1248 calls and they have had 146 one to one meetings. The Support our Help Hub gives covers a wide aspect of areas. The main areas include Benefits, Diagnosis, Education and Employment, as well as offering coping mechanisms and emotional support.
We are not government funded, so we solely rely on donations and funding to be able to continue to offer the vital support to our community that need it on a daily and weekly basis throughout the year.
