Autism Networks
Safe social spaces, advice and support for autistic individuals, their families and carers
Autism Networks (A.N) is a Charity and Company limited by guarantee, coordinated by hardworking trustees, a management committee, and enthusiastic volunteers working for the benefit of our service users.
About Us
Autism Networks provides a safe place for people on the autistic spectrum of all ages to attend along with their families. We are based in Crewe, Cheshire East, and serve the local community.
Our charity is run by a dedicated team of trustees, a management committee, and enthusiastic volunteers who work tirelessly to create an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.
Autism is a lifelong neurological condition that affects how people communicate and interact with the world. Understanding and acceptance are the first steps toward building an inclusive community. At Autism Networks, we are committed to raising awareness and fostering understanding.
We provide resources and support to help families, carers, and the wider community better understand autism and how to create environments where autistic individuals can thrive.
