We cannot recommend Autism North East highly enough, they were instrumental to our son’s healing and understanding of himself.

Autism North East were excellent. All the staff we met were kind, supportive and thorough. The report was comprehensive and has helped my teenager who had been out of school, to go to college.

After years of quiet struggle, she says it was 'a validating experience' that helped her to understand both herself and why school had been so challenging. I would definitely recommend Autism North East.
