Adults on the Autistic Spectrum

Support for Adults on the Autistic Spectrum in Edinburgh is a tough road to navigate. Most Adults with Autism in their 50's have managed to negotiate childhood into adulthood without being formally diagnosed until later in life.
There seems to be a lot of support for children, yet very little support for Adults on the Autistic Spectrum. ACOUP recognizes that many Adults with Autism require several key supporting services, and therefore we specializes in Private Tutor and Mentor and Private Personal Assistant.

Private Tutor /Mentor


We provide Caregivers who specialises in special needs (Autistic Spectrum) who have empathy and understanding for Adults with Autism and can provide care on a 1-1 basis while the adult maintains a daily existence.
Many Adults on the spectrum were diagnosed late on in life and consequently were misunderstood by their own families and friends.
Some Adults may have had periods of depression, anxiety, and severe loneliness.
Acoup provides a really great service for adults who need cognitive support and life skill sets to assist them further.
We encourage cognitive support and assist in joining groups and accompanying the Adult to such events to support in case of anxiety/panic attacks.
We encourage walking and joining support groups.
We encourage language learning, role playing, information gathering (eg: 3 interesting new facts each day) as well as daily living assistance.
A Private Tutor / Mentor can assist your family member/loved one understand Autism isn’t a failing, rather it’s a huge gift that needs nurturing. Private Tutor/Mentor usually work with Adults on a minimum visit 2-3 days week ( x 4 hours each time) for a minimum 3 months. This builds trust and continuity with the adult.

Private Personal Assistant


Very similar to Private Tutor/Mentor, however, the caregiver tends to work more full time for a minimum 6 month period to support the Adult back to work, identify new life pursuits, travelling, or more independent living etc. , and becomes an integral part of the family in supporting the Adult in his/her relations with their family members and friends alike.
