About Autism Support Wales
Autism Support Wales is an independent information and directory platform created to help autistic people, families and professionals find autism assessment providers, support services and useful information across Wales.
We bring key information together in one accessible place, making it easier to understand the available options and compare services.
Why Autism Support Wales was created
Finding clear information about autism assessments and support can be difficult. People may need to search across different provider websites to understand:
- Who assesses adults, children or young people
- Where appointments are available
- Whether services are online or face-to-face
- Current prices and waiting times
- What the assessment includes
- What support is available after an assessment
Autism Support Wales was created to bring this information together and make it easier to compare options.

How provider information is presented
Provider listings may contain information supplied by providers or obtained from publicly available sources.
Information such as prices, waiting times, availability and services can change. Visitors should confirm important details directly with the provider before booking.
Where information is unavailable, it is omitted rather than assumed.
Independence and paid listings
Autism Support Wales is an independent directory and information service. Some providers may pay for enhanced or featured visibility on the platform. Paid placement does not constitute a clinical recommendation or guarantee the quality, suitability or outcome of a service.
Visitors should consider their individual needs, review the information provided and make their own enquiries before choosing a provider.
If featured or enhanced providers use badges, these identify listing visibility rather than clinical ranking.
What we do not do
It is important to be clear about the limits of what Autism Support Wales offers:
- Does not diagnose autism
- Does not carry out autism assessments
- Does not provide medical or clinical advice
- Does not determine whether someone meets diagnostic criteria
- Does not guarantee that another organisation will accept a private assessment
- Does not guarantee prices, waiting times, availability or assessment outcomes
- Is not an NHS service or part of NHS Wales
- Is not a crisis or emergency service
Our approach
The platform aims to be:
- Clear and accessible
- Respectful and neurodiversity-affirming
- Independent
- Transparent about paid visibility
- Focused on Wales
- Careful not to assume that one option suits everyone
We avoid describing autism as an illness or something that needs to be cured.
Keeping information accurate
Provider information can change. Autism Support Wales aims to update listings when changes are identified or reported.
Providers and visitors can report inaccurate or outdated information through the contact page.
We do not promise that every listing is checked continuously or clinically verified.
For assessment and support providers
Relevant providers serving people in Wales can contact Autism Support Wales to:
- Request a new listing
- Claim or update an existing listing
- Correct inaccurate information
- Ask about enhanced or featured visibility
Our aim is simple
To make it easier for people across Wales to understand their options, find relevant services and make informed decisions.
