We have been through
the tunnel too.
Embrace Autism was built from lived experience. We know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, to search for answers, and to feel like no one truly gets it.
Together we have over
fifty years of experience.
Together we have over fifty years of experience in various roles working with children, parents and families. Helping them work through their worries and achieve their goals.
We are the parents of four fabulous children, who have taught us more about Autism than we have ever learnt in our professional capacity.
Living in an Autism friendly home is a way of life for us. We want to help reframe how you look at Autism and find what works for you, your child and your family.
- We listen before we advise
- We build plans around real life, not theory
- We walk alongside you, not just hand you a document and leave
- We believe every child deserves support that actually fits
Nick
Co-FounderI have over 28 years experience working with children and adults in hands on roles. I worked as a Parent Support Advisor, delivering parenting workshops. I also worked in a special school with children from 3 to 16 years old, a high percentage of whom had autism.
But nothing prepared me more than actually being a parent of children with Autism. It is not a 9 to 5 job. It is all day every day. Our lived experience means we get it. The empathy is real.

Our Principles
We always love our children
It is important that children always feel loved and safe. We might not always like what they do, but they should always feel loved.
No one can be perfect every day
We have never met a parent who planned to have a bad day. Be kind to yourself.
Be kind and compassionate
You do not know what people are going through. What seems simple to one person could be incredibly challenging to another.
Tomorrow is another day
There is always an opportunity to do something different tomorrow. Every day is a fresh start.
We can all learn and develop
Understanding why things work well helps us sustain them for longer. We learn from the good times as much as the hard ones.
We are all unique
What works for one child and family might not work for another. That is not failure, that is just how people work.
“Support built around your child. Not a generic plan.”Our Philosophy
Ready to talk to someone
who gets it?
No jargon. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about your child and how we can help.
