A few things to check before relying on a service or community
Does the support fit the person?
Useful support should respond to individual strengths, barriers, communication needs, preferences and goals.
Is the information current?
Check dates, eligibility requirements and whether services still operate in your area before relying on older information.
Is the environment respectful?
Look for support that protects dignity, avoids shame and treats disabled or neurodivergent people as active participants in decisions.
Questions
Using this support page
Does this page replace professional assessment or specialist advice?
No. This page is a support-finding and information pathway. Formal assessment, diagnosis or specialist recommendations need the appropriately qualified service for the person's situation and location.
Why does Aspie Answers use several different learning terms?
Terminology varies internationally and between education, disability and health systems. The glossary can help explain the wording before you follow a support pathway.
What if I do not know what kind of support I need?
Start with the main Learning Disabilities Hub or search this page using the difficulty, environment or person you are supporting, such as family, school, work or online support.
