Autism Jersey

Autism Jersey was founded in 2005 by a group of parents, all of whom have children with autism. Autism Jersey is the largest organisation supporting people with autism in the channel islands. We provide support for families, individuals and carers, a Befriending scheme and training (including SPELL). We also have an adult social club which meets twice a week and a structured and supportive life and social skills programme. We run parent drop ins, social events and fund raising events throughout the year and also provide short break services. We champion full and inclusive lives for people with autism and pride ourselves in being proactive in raising awareness about autism across the island. Autism Jersey is firmly established and is helping to make the needed changes to local education, social security, health care and law enforcement agencies and establishments in order to ease the difficulties faced by people with autism.
