We support anyone affected by autism

What we do

Our help is varied and far reaching. Our services are available to anyone who needs it - people with autism and associated difficulties, families and professionals. Anyone affected by autism can rely on us for support. 

We provide three main areas of support:

Portfield School

Portfield School, a non-maintained specialist school based in Christchurch, Dorset, was founded in 1971 by parents of children with autism. Managed by Autism Wessex, the school supports children and young people with autism and associated difficulties aged 3-19.

Community Connection

Our Community Connection Service can answer general questions about autism. Book an appointment to speak with one of our connectors.

Community & Residential

Our Community Support and Residential Services offer a range of personalised social care services for people with autism and associated difficulties.
