Autism Central is the National Peer Education Programme for families and support networks of autistic people of all ages in England. The programme is delivered by Anna Freud and commissioned by the NHS. 

We offer families education, coaching, and connection through resources, one-to-one peer support, and group learning events. 

Autism Central supports thousands of families of autistic and AuDHD people across England - funded by the NHS and free to access.

Families can also access same-day, one-to-one coaching, with up to 10 sessions per family.
