It's a free resource designed to support autistic people of all ages, as well as parents, carers and professionals across Derby and Derbyshire. People don't need a diagnosis.

The service, provided by Citizens Advice, is commissioned by us and the city council. We're helping to spread the word so that more people can access its support.

Anyone can book an appointment with advisors who can signpost you to resources and support. The service can also help with diagnosis, education, employment, wellbeing and mental health.

It provides free information and guidance over the phone, face to face, or at drop-in events at various locations. Professionals can get free autism awareness training.

Parents and carers can attend free monthly autism workshops.
