We are seeking funding for the Child Autism UK Helpline for parents of children with autism. We take around 600 calls per month from families across the UK who are desperate for help and often very distressed. A range of advice and support is just a call away.

    Situation

    One in every 100 children will have autism, and some research points to the figure being as high as one in 60, so there many, many parents who need the help, support and advice that the Child Autism UK helpline provides to parents up and down the UK. So many parents battle 'the system', often for years, to get a diagnosis for their child. When they finally get it, they are just left to cope - with no support. Here is where we come in - to help the whole family on their positive autim journey.

    Solution

    The helpline empowers parents by giving them the information that they need to make the most appropriate choices for their child, as early as possible. Parents can receive information packs, be invited to attend Parent Information Days and low-cost Communication Clincs. One-to-one advice can be provided by a caring and expert team who will ensure parents feel listened to and supported as an individual family, ensuring they have the tools to release their child's potential.
