Making Healthcare Simpler for Autistic Families
Accessing the right healthcare can be stressful at the best of times. But for families with autistic children or individuals with additional needs, it often becomes a real challenge — from long waiting lists and confusing systems to inaccessible environments. At Autism Family Support, we’re here to change that.
Our free, friendly NHS access and appointment assistance helps families navigate the UK healthcare system with confidence, making sure no one feels left behind or overwhelmed. Whether you’re struggling to register with a GP, book an appointment, or understand a referral letter, we offer calm, clear guidance every step of the way.
✅ GP Registration & Changes
Support with registering at a new GP surgery or switching doctors when needed.
✅ Appointment Booking
Help with booking and managing appointments — whether online, by phone, or via NHS apps like the NHS App or Patient Access.
✅ Understanding NHS Communications
We break down complex paperwork, referral letters, and test results into easy-to-understand language.
✅ Explaining Healthcare Processes
From waiting list systems to what happens at a specialist clinic, we make medical processes less intimidating and more transparent.
✅ Reasonable Adjustments Advocacy
We help you request and arrange sensory-friendly support — such as quiet spaces, visual aids, or extra time during appointments.
We know that for autistic people, healthcare access isn’t just about the appointment — it’s about the environment, the communication, and feeling safe. That’s why our support is:
One-to-one and confidential
Tailored to your family’s specific needs
Delivered by trained, understanding staff
Culturally inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming
Whether you’re new to the NHS, relocating to a new area, or need help making sense of a referral — we’re here to take the pressure off. Our goal is to ensure you and your loved ones can access the care you need, without confusion or delays.
