  • Hi Longman,

    We've had a response, hope it proves helpful.

     

    It is possible to get information from the Autism Services Directory www.autism.org.uk/directory  that matches a person's needs more precisely than having to wade through a lot of resources listed under place.

     
    One way would be to use the Advanced Search, use the  link on the left hand side of the home page or this link
     
    Put the distance in miles and your postcode to define the geographical area you want to search. Tick the categories of service or support group you are interested in and scroll down towards the bottom to enter the age of the person with autism.  In the situation described by the enquirer  you might want to choose local groups and social groups. 
     
    Help with using the Directory is available here http://www.autism.org.uk/directory/help 
     

     

    Another way would be to enter a profile on Signpost www.autism.org.uk/signpost where all you need to do is answer 6 short questions. Once you have submitted your profile you will see on the left hand side a link to Key services. Select that. Then select the types of services or support you are interested in  and you will find the names of services that are near you are pulled through into Signpost from the Autism Services Directory. Signpost will have done the searching for you."
