AS Inform is a national document, originally produced by Andrew Powell in Avon in 2001.

AS Inform is an attempt to ‘map’ services in the areas of community care, Further Education or Higher Education, employment, diagnosis, counselling, benefits and social support/leisure.

It has now been updated by the project’s Information Officer and is an information resource for parents of teenagers and adults with Asperger syndrome living in Greater Manchester.

The Autism Commissioning Standards document was drawn together by a working group made up of commissioners and autism-specific providers facilitated within the North West and by The National Autistic Society.
