Welcome
Autism in Mann is a Manx registered charity established in 1991 by two parents who wanted to reach out and help other families.
We are a parent support group - and we aim to provide help and support to parents and carers, and to promote a greater understanding of autism.
When the Charity started, there was very little help or support for families. The charity brought over speakers and put pressure on the Government for change.
We are constantly looking at ways to help and expand opportunities for young people and families affected by Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).
Dedicated Autism and Social Communication Support
We work with the Department of Education, Sport & Culture to partly fund the Autism & Social Communication Liaison Officer.
Holiday Activity Schemes & Teenage Activity Group
We offer safe, structured, and nurturing environments where children and young people can enjoy meaningful activities, build confidence, and connect with peers.

What is autism?
Autism is a type of developmental disability and is lifelong. There are different types of autism, but all people with autism show difficulty with social interaction, communication and imagination to a greater or lesser degree.
People with autism are said to be on the “autistic spectrum”. The word spectrum is used because, while all people with autism share the three main areas of difficulty, their condition will affect them in very different ways.
Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) can prove isolating not just for the person with it, but also for their parents/carers and siblings.
Autism in Mann aims to provide help and support to parents and carers and to promote a greater understanding of the condition.
