About us...

Formed in 1968, The Wessex Autistic Society is a leading voluntary organisation delivering education, support and care services for people on the autistic spectrum. We operate services in Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset, and outreach to anyone else who may need us, regardless of where they may be.

Our help is varied and far reaching. Our information and advice line helps those who need more knowledge on autism and diagnosis; we assist anyone requiring suitable supported living, and offer help for adults gaining employment. We run drop in sessions for those wishing to talk about their issues, as well as providing specialist education, boarding and lodging for children, and respite for families, all within modern purpose built facilities.
