Make a real difference for the 1 in 20 Autistic people in Ireland by organising a fundraiser for AsIAm. Whether it’s a coffee morning, a sponsored walk, or something unique, every euro raised supports the Irish Autism community. And now organising a fundraiser is easier than ever with our brand-new Fundraising Kit, which you can download below. 🎉

Get involved!One of the simplest ways to show support for Autistic people is how we talk about Autism. Below is our Language guide and our do's and don'ts one pager, which contains phrases that Autistic people use to describe their experience of being Autistic and living in society. Whilst this is not an exhaustive list of the terminology that Autistic people use; it does give a sense of the language they use to speak about their day-to-day experiences living in society.
Below is a list of some of the events taking place this April within our Child and Family Programme.
If your family is interested in being part of the AsIAm Child and Family Support programme, you must register.
