Autism in the news

AWARES provides both Welsh autism news and also broader autism news. Our comprehensive archive provides easy access to autism stories within Wales and around the World. Where so much media coverage of autism is driven by hype, we will present a balanced view to inform you and help you make decisions based on your own understanding of autism.

Autism discussion groups

If you have a question about autism or a related condition, you can ask our online discussion groups for an answer.

Community autism library and information centre

Autism is often misunderstood, and so within the library and information centre you will find a wealth of information about autism, ways to help people with autism, and an online autism seminar room. Our online seminars will help both parents and carers and also medical, care and social services professionals.

Professional autism information centre

Our professional area provides medical professionals, care workers and social services with the chance to discuss the latest research in a secure environment. Welsh professionals will have access to autism specialists from Wales and abroad.

Should AWARES include your organisation?

If you know of any autism resources we should add to this site, please e-mail us on info@awares.org, or call on 01970 625256. In particular, we are looking for local support groups, specialist care homes and GPs with specialist autism experience.
