Virtual Autism Hub

Lincolnshire’s Virtual Autism Hub is a new source of autism support.

Our service is for non-clinical autism enquiries. We’re here to empower autistic people and their parents/carers. We will work closely with community groups and service providers.

Special Autism Navigators

Our Specialist Autism Navigators work directly with autistic adults and 
parents/carers of autistic people of all ages. Their job is to help you access services and other local support. 

This support is non-clinical and includes: 

• advice
• signposting to support groups and services
• information about autism and diagnostic pathways
• practical support with tasks such as filling out forms or accompanying 
• individuals going to their first meetings. This support is offered in a way that suits the individual.

Grants

We offer an annual grants programme to strengthen and expand local support groups that help autistic adults, children, young people or parents/carers. The funding is targeted at volunteer-led groups in Lincolnshire. The team link in closely with these groups and provide regular contact.
