Advice Line

About Scottish Autism’s Advice Line

Scottish Autism’s Advice Line provides advice, support, guidance and signposting to autistic people, their families, loved ones, friends and professionals.

The Advice Line is available to anyone at any stage of their journey, whether this be individuals questioning their neurodivergence, self-identifying, awaiting an assessment or those who have a formal diagnosis.

Our approach places individuals at the centre of the work we do. Each enquiry we treat with confidentiality, and with every enquiry we receive, we a take a person centred approach, providing support and advice tailored to meet your needs. Previous users of our Advice Line have benefited from discussions on a range of topics including autism understanding, exploring identity, stress and anxiety, as well as strategies to support individuals within education and employment settings. More broadly, the Advice Line provides emotional support and a listening service to anyone who requires it.

We collaborate with partner organisations across Scotland so if we can’t help, we will try to signpost you to someone who can.
