Podcast
Real stories and honest conversations - we bring together autistic people and the people who love, support, and care for autistic people of all ages and backgrounds to explore every aspect of life.
Autism Central is the national peer education programme for families and support networks of autistic people in England. The programme is delivered by Anna Freud and commissioned by the NHS. Through education, coaching, and connection, we offer resources, webinars, one-to-one peer support, and community events that centre lived experience and build real understanding.
