Maria Bremmers, Network Project Manager, Autism London writes -

Autism London has funding from the Department of Health to map out existing help lines and information services that support Autism services and service users. This will be done in partnership with the National Autistic Society (NAS) and other stakeholders. 

Partners in Autism, (PAN) will bring together organisations that work in supporting people with Autism or Aspergers Syndrome through technologies such as help lines, website information, social forums, texting, and e-mails. We will look at the quantity and quality of existing services, and discuss how we can develop and improve these services within the health and social care provision, ultimately forming a national autism helpline partnership.

You can help me by telling me of any help lines that have been really helpful/or not so helpful in providing you with accurate and useful information. Also how do you prefer to obtain information? Would you rather speak to someone on the telephone, or by SMS or on a social forum such as My Space, or Second Life?  Or any other way that I haven’t mentioned.  I am particularly interested in hearing from service users and their experiences of using help lines and other information services also.
