Autism Advice Q&A

These sessions are run to help provide as much support as we can to autistic people, their families and carers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Keep an eye on our online events page where we will post more Autism Advice Q&A sessions soon.

It is with thanks to our Advice Line Team that we are able to deliver events like these. This team also operates our Autism Advice Line which provides valuable emotional and practical support to families across Scotland.
