Advice and support for parents and carers of autistic young people
Who we support
Our services are available to parents/carers of a child or adult who:
-
Has a diagnosis of autism/autism spectrum or is awaiting an autism assessment, and 
-
lives in Oxfordshire or surrounding areas. [If a service or event is overbooked, we reserve the right to prioritise families living in Oxfordshire].
Before you use our services
If you have not yet completed a Registration Form, please complete a general registration form. The registration form can be completed by a parent/carer or a professional who has permission from the parent/carer and can fully complete the form.
Please note: If we receive an incomplete form we will ask you to resubmit.
Services for parents and carers
We recommend starting with our Q&A sessions, then if you need further support you can email us and / or book an appointment.
Online Q&A Sessions
Attend our popular online Q&A with AFSO sessions. Each session has a different theme and includes a presentation and advice. You can ask a question or simply listen and be in a safe online space with other parents/carers – all online in the comfort of your own space.
Email advice
If you require more or different advice, then use our Advice By Email service.
Book an appointment
We have paused this service due to limited funding and staffing. Please use the following services instead: Training, Q&A sessions, Advice by email.
If we resume advice appointments, we will announce an update via our mailing list and Facebook page.
Training
We provide a programme of useful and “MUST-DO” training for parent/carers, young people and professionals.
