Autism Pathfinder was set up in response to the scarcity, delay and difficulty of accessing services for adults with ASD. We have developed our service to help you find your path to a better life. At its heart is the goal to provide person centred specialist interventions that go beyond diagnosis. We offer unique programmes of psychological therapy to help you understand the way you and your family see and respond to the world around you. All of our services have that goal in mind.
