About Us
Dear Friend,
Transforming Lives Through Understanding
At Autism Cork, we are passionate advocates dedicated to revolutionising support for autistic individuals, their families, and the professionals who serve them. Our mission is simple yet profound: to enhance quality of life across the entire autism spectrum through understanding, collaboration, and evidence-based practices.
Our Core Belief
We firmly believe that autistic individuals don't need to fit in—they need to be understood. True support comes from recognising and celebrating neurodiversity, working in genuine partnership with autistic people to meet their unique strengths and needs.
Global Impact, Personal Touch
Our autism training programmes have empowered thousands of participants across 50+ countries, from the USA and Canada to Ireland, the UK, Australia, and communities throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America. Each training delivers practical strategies, actionable insights, and solution-focussed tools that create real, lasting change.
A Deeply Personal Mission
This work is profoundly personal to me. My non-speaking autistic brother has been one of my greatest teachers, showing me the true meaning of autism and inspiring everything we do at Autism Cork. His experiences continue to guide our commitment to authentic, respectful support.
Our Promise to You
We connect you with the world's leading autism experts and practitioners, ensuring you receive:
• Evidence-based interventions that truly work
• Practical, solution-focussed tools for immediate implementation
• Comprehensive support across all ages and the entire spectrum
• Inclusive, autism-friendly approaches developed in partnership with autistic individuals
• Training that educates, empowers, and inspires lasting change
Our Vision in Action
We are transforming the autism landscape by:
✓ Improving understanding of autism through expert education
✓ Challenging perceptions to foster empowering, positive mindsets
✓ Honouring unique needs of every autistic person, parent, and professional
✓ Delivering reliable, evidence-based interventions and supports
✓ Building inclusive communities that celebrate neurodiversity
Join Our Community
Everyone is welcome in our autism community. Whether you're a parent seeking answers, a professional expanding your expertise, or an autistic individual looking for understanding and support—we're here for you.
