Supporting individuals, families and professionals in South Hampshire and beyond

The South Hampshire Branch is a self-funded branch of the National Autistic Society and run entirely by volunteers.



There are an increasing number of autistic people in the local area. Living and working with these people brings great rewards as well as challenges. There is often social isolation of children, young people and adults on the autism spectrum, their families and friends. The branch can help in a number of ways.

We welcome anyone for whom our group may be a helpful resource.

What is autism?

Autism is a lifelong disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. There are approximately 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK. Without the right support or understanding, autistic people can miss out on an education, struggle to find work and become extremely isolated. The National Autistic Society is here to transform lives, change attitudes and build a society that works for autistic people.
