Our team loved engaging with the students and sharing the joy of our work! 🍰☕🙌 We love to host visits like this and continue building connections with local schools and communities.

About us
We are a leading charity providing services to adults and young people with autism, learning disabilities and mental health conditions. We were founded over three decades ago by a group of parents of adult children, all diagnosed with an autism spectrum condition. After reaching school leaving age they found there was no service to support their children through adulthood. Coming together they worked tirelessly to establish a provision that met the needs of their children. The group was able to secure the use of a Victorian house, in the market town of Thorne, near Doncaster in South Yorkshire to provide residential support; today Thorne House continues to be one of our main operating sites. We now provide support across the North of England. We feel very passionate and proud of the way Autism Plus has grown and supported people to achieve so many of their aspirations over the last three decades. In every part of our service we support people to take more control over their lives. We are a disability confident employer, which means we are committed to recruiting and retain disabled people and people with health conditions for their skills and talent.
