AsIAm Is Ireland’s National Autism Charity. We are working to create a society in which every Autistic person is empowered to reach their own personal potential and fully participate in society.
Our vision is an Ireland in which every Autistic person is accepted as they are – equal, valued and respected.
Since 2014, AsIAm has been a powerful movement for change for the Autism community in Ireland. What started as an online platform designed to share information and experiences, has evolved into Ireland’s Autism Charity.
AsIAm is Autistic-led and we are dedicated to transforming society, working for Autistic people and their families. Our work focuses on representing, connecting, coordinating and unifying the Autism community in Ireland. We empower and support Autistic people to reach their full potential, while simultaneously challenging society to be fully accepting and accessible to every Autistic person.
We advocate for our community by raising awareness of Autism and providing training and accreditation to schools, HEIs, employers and organisations on how to become more Autism-friendly.
Learn MoreThe Autistic Guide to Starting College website was created to support students as they move from post-primary school into higher education.
Here you’ll find answers to common questions about the transition, along with practical tips and helpful information to make the journey a little smoother.
We’ve also included videos and articles from Autistic students who share what college is really like – their expectations, experiences and what helped them along the way.
This website was made possible by funding from Rethink Ireland, we thank them for their support.
