West Glamorgan Integrated Autism Service Leaflet

The Integrated Autism Service (IAS) works with autistic adults, their family members and anyone with a supporting role (including professionals). The IAS consists of staff employed by Swansea Bay University Health Board and Neath Port Talbot Local Authority.  

West Glamorgan includes residents of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.

Anyone can refer into the Integrated Autism Service.

The Integrated Autism Service provides direct support for autistic adults. We also provide signposting for parent carers of autistic children, young people and adults.

Adults can self-refer for an assessment if they think they may be autistic.

Autistic adults who have received a diagnosis at any point in their life can access the service for:

  • support to understand autism
  • short-term direct support
  • support to access other services.

Services supporting autistic adults can contact the IAS for:

  • consultation, advice and support on how to tailor their interventions in an autism friendly way. This approach is in line with the Autism Code of Practice.

The Integrated Autism Service also offers:

  • Understanding Autism courses
  • Autism Advice Hubs, which are accessible for anyone with an autism related query.

The service will not accept referrals for:

  • input with children
  • emergency or crisis intervention
  • respite care
  • diagnostic assessments for people under 17 years 9 months
  • prescription or monitoring of medication
  • long-term input or care management
  • Mental Health counselling or therapy.

Other services are available to help with the above issues.

The Integrated Autism Service is unable to provide direct support to those already in receipt of care and support from services which include Secondary Mental Health, Learning Disability and Social Services. 

In these instances, the IAS will support the professionals working in these areas.

If you have any questions about the service or wish to request a referral form, please contact:
