Hi Mummybear11,
The NAS website might be a good starting point, there is a page called "what's on this site for parents and carers" http://www.autism.org.uk/About/Family-life/Parents-carers which has links to areas you might be interested in, like services for children in your area, education rights, issues at home etc. Have a look around and feel free to ask back here if you have any questions, you may find someone in the community who can answer your questions from their own experiences.
Also, our Autism Helpline may also be able to help. Advisers can talk through the different types of support and search for services in your area, if you would like to call.
The Helpline is open Monday to Thursday 10am – 4pm and Friday 9am – 3pm on 0808 800 4104.
Please see the following link for further information:

I hope you find some of the information useful,
Kind regards,
Heather - Mod
