Autism New Zealand

Empowering people living with autism.

Nationwide

Autism New Zealand provides support, information and training to the 65,000 New Zealanders on the autism spectrum, and their families, teachers, employers and other community members. Essentially, empower people living with autism.

Our knowledgeable and professional staff works daily with children and adults with autism and their families. These staff members provide individualised support plans, and offer a range of skills and solutions.

In April Autism New Zealand celebrates Autism Awareness Week which we believe shines a bright light on autism. Autism Awareness Week activities help to increase and develop world knowledge of autism and impart information regarding the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention.

Additionally, Autism Awareness Week celebrates the unique talents and skills of people with autism and is a week where individuals with autism are warmly welcomed and embraced in community events around the globe. By bringing together autism organisations all around the world, we will give a voice to the millions of individuals worldwide who are undiagnosed, misunderstood and looking for help.
