Aspire provides support and information to people who are on the Autism Spectrum and their families. Autism is characterised primarily by impairments in social functioning and communication. Diagnosed individuals are faced with challenges that can not be particularly apparent to others not familiar with the condition. As a result, Aspire works to provide answers to parents, friends and people with Autism and provide them with the information and support they need, be it in relation to diagnosis, therapy or building social skills. We are based in Dublin but strive to support individuals and families nationwide. There are number of services that operate outside of Dublin that specifically cater for individuals with Autism - should an individual contact us from somewhere outside of the major cities in Ireland we can direct them to the nearest services and support available to them.
