Low-Level Preventative Support to assist with communication and promote self-advocacy. We offer:

Practical support with things autistic people finds difficult, communication and self-advocacy, to teach new skills and increased confidence.

Emotional support to listen to and validate autistic experience.


Autism Annual Health Checks - Diagnosed autistic adults and young people aged 14 and over, are now eligible for an NHS annual health check. 

Autism In Mind can support you to access your health check. We have a dedicated health link worker, Thomas, who works alongside clinicians to ensure that your health check is accessible and meaningful to you. 

Digital Inclusion Project - to support autistic people to access online resources more easily, in order to support their mental health/emotional wellbeing and reduce inequalities. 

Hospital Discharge Project - to support autistic people who are at risk of admission into mental health inpatient settings, as well as people being discharged back to South Tyneside from inpatient services.  

Sensory Occupational Therapy -  to support the sensory-based needs of autistic people.
