Information, Advice & Guidance

For autistic adults, their families, carers and professionals

Information, Advice and Guidance Service

Autism Hampshire is leading a new partnership to deliver Autism and ADHD Community Hubs alongside an Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) service for adults across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Launching on 1 April 2026, the service will provide trusted information and support for autistic and/or ADHD adults aged 18 and over, including those exploring neurodivergence or waiting for a diagnosis. Support is available whether or not someone has a formal diagnosis.

The service offers flexible support through face-to-face and online appointments, as well as telephone, email and digital resources. Four community hubs will be established across North Hampshire, South East Hampshire, Southampton and the Isle of Wight, creating welcoming local spaces where people can access guidance, connect with support and learn about services in their area.

Led by Autism Hampshire, part of Avenues Group, the service is delivered in partnership with organisations including Solent Mind, Andover Mind, Havant and East Hants Mind, and AIM Isle of Wight. Lived experience is central to the service, with autistic and ADHD adults involved in shaping and delivering support.

    Every day working in Information, Advice & Guidance is different, every individual, parent/carer or professional that comes to us has a different question or support need. At times my role can be very challenging but when someone tells you that the advice given has made a difference to their lives it is worth every minute. I am lucky that I work with a wonderful team of people and together our mission is to support people through any challenges that they are facing to enable them to embrace the autism spectrum within their lives.
