About Us

Perth Autism Support was founded in 2011 to address the gaps in support for autistic children, young people and their families across Perth & Kinross.

In 2026, we have over 1400 families registered for services and support children, young people and families through the following service areas:

• Children’s Services
• Transitions Services (encompassing three project areas – Engage, Enterprise and Employability)
• Family and Education Services (including our Early Years project and Autistic Adults Peer Support)

We are governed by a Board of Trustees (6) and we have a staff team of 35.

We are based in our centre in Perth City but work across the whole of the Perth & Kinross region.
