Aspire is the Autism Spectrum Association of Ireland. We are a national organisation and a registered charity that was established in 1995 by a group of parents to support individuals with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome, a type of autism on the autism spectrum. Today we do not categorise autism in the same way.
We are still supporting our Asperger’s community, but we are expanding our remit to support the broader autistic community.
At Aspire we operate a family inclusive model and aim to support and assist both the autistic individual and their support network. We advocate on behalf of autistic people and provide them with the tools to advocate for themselves.
We manage a Residential Service, where we assist individuals in gaining independent living skills. We apply a person centred model and support community engagement.
We operate a Social Enterprise, called Aspire Designs. This will provide meaningful work experience and progression, skills and training to autistic adults. We have a talented team of autistic graphic designers who are creating unique greeting cards, utilising their skillset and interests.
We run a number of social meet up groups and support programmes for both adults and youths.
We provide training and support to schools, colleges, workplaces and community services.
We provide resources, easy read guides and information to assist the autistic person and their family.
