Welcome to Autism Mentors
Navigating life as a neurodivergent child, young person, or adult can feel challenging — not because of who you are, but because many environments and systems aren’t designed with neurodiversity in mind. At Autism Mentors Ltd, we’re here to change that.
We provide warm, neuro-affirming mentoring and carer support that celebrates individuality and adapts to each person’s unique sensory, communication, and emotional needs. Our team combines professional expertise with lived experience, allowing us to support clients with empathy, authenticity, and a deep understanding of what truly helps.
Whether it’s emotional regulation, anxiety, executive functioning, sensory strategies, or simply having someone who “gets it,” we offer practical, relationship-based support. Sessions can be 1:1 or in small groups, and we work closely with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure joined-up, consistent care.
If you’re exploring support for yourself, your child, or someone you care for, you’re welcome to contact us for a free, no-pressure consultation — or even just an informal chat. We’re here to listen, understand, and support you every step of the way.
Our Mission
At Autism Mentors Ltd, our mission is to champion a positive, modern, and truly inclusive understanding of neurodiversity. We believe no one should ever feel as though they need to change who they are to be accepted.
Instead, we work to create environments where neurodivergent children, young people, and adults feel seen, understood, and supported. Through compassionate mentoring, education, and collaboration with families, schools, and communities, we aim to remove barriers and help every individual thrive on their own terms.
Our Vision
We envision a future where neurodivergent people are valued, celebrated, and empowered—where differences are recognised as strengths, not obstacles.
Our vision is a society that adapts to individuals rather than expecting individuals to adapt to it; a world built on understanding, accessibility, and genuine inclusion.
By promoting awareness, shifting perspectives, and providing meaningful support, we strive to help create a brighter, more accepting future for all.
Parents & Carers
Our team understands—through both professional expertise and lived experience—that supporting your child is your highest priority. That’s why we place such value on working collaboratively with parents and carers wherever possible. Together, we can create a consistent, supportive approach that truly reflects your child’s needs.
Whether your child has just received a long-awaited diagnosis, you’re currently navigating the assessment process, or they’ve been diagnosed for some time but now need additional support, we are here to help.
We work with families to build understanding, confidence, and clarity. This includes exploring how your child’s neurodivergence presents day to day, why certain challenges may arise, and what approaches can help them feel safe, regulated, and supported.
From nurturing secure attachment, to developing effective strategies at home and in school, to understanding sensory needs and communication styles, we’re here to guide you and your child toward a more confident and empowered future.
Neurodiverse Children & Adults
Neurodiverse children, young people, and adults may need extra support at different stages of their lives as they navigate a world that isn’t always designed with their needs in mind.
At Autism Mentors, our team supports individuals across a wide range of areas, including sensory processing, relationships with peers and family, managing transitions, understanding and reducing masking, rejection sensitivity, hyperfocus, and exploring their own neurodivergent identity or diagnosis.
We also work with children and adults to build confidence and independence within the community. This can include support with money management, navigating anxieties outside the home, practising communication and social interaction (1:1 or in small groups), and developing routines or strategies for moving between activities.
These are just a few examples of what we can help with. If you or your child/adult has specific needs or goals, please get in touch — we’re always happy to discuss how we can tailor our support to you.
Nursery, School, College & University
At Autism Mentors, we recognise that understanding of neurodiversity is continually growing and improving. Research, lived-experience insight, and best practice guidance are evolving rapidly—helping neurodivergent people feel safer, more understood, less pressured to mask, and better supported in their overall wellbeing.
Our team helps schools, colleges, and other settings stay up to date with the most current approaches, inclusive strategies, and neuro-affirming practices. By drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience, we ensure your staff feel confident, informed, and equipped to provide truly accessible and supportive environments.
We offer a range of services, from whole-staff training sessions to tailored programmes for smaller teams. We can also support settings in meeting the needs outlined in a child’s EHCP and in developing individualised strategies that promote inclusion, emotional safety, and positive outcomes.
If your setting is committed to improving understanding and reducing barriers for neurodivergent learners, we are here to help.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Support
Understanding of Autism and other forms of neurodivergence has developed significantly in recent years. Traditional models often focused on “deficits” or impairments and viewed Autism as a disorder to be corrected. Modern research — including the Double Empathy Problem and authentic communication studies — shows that these old ideas are outdated and do not reflect the lived experiences of neurodivergent people.
Neurodiversity recognises that differences in the way people think, communicate, and process the world are a natural and valuable part of human variation. Conditions such as Autism and ADHD are not faults to be fixed, but equally valid neurotypes with their own strengths, challenges, and ways of experiencing life.
At Autism Mentors, we embrace this neuro-affirming approach.
We work to challenge outdated assumptions, promote understanding, and ensure that neurodivergent individuals are supported in ways that respect their identity, communication style, sensory needs, and autonomy. Our goal is to help build a society where all neurotypes are understood, accepted, and celebrated.
Together, we can move towards a more inclusive world — one that adapts to the individual, rather than expecting the individual to adapt to it.
