Autism spectrum disorder in under 19s: support and management

Using care services

Your autism team should give you details about other support available. This may include information about services and managing your autism and about organisations that provide:

Having autism should not prevent you receiving health and social care services if you need them. You have the same right to be cared for and supported as any other child or young person.

The services you use should be suitable for your needs so that you feel comfortable. For example, if you don't like being close to other people or you react badly to bright lighting, too much noise or waiting around, the service should take account of this.
