A grassroots group founded by families, for families – built on lived experience and a deep commitment to inclusion in Co. Donegal.
The Autism Family Support Group (AFSG) Letterkenny was established to address the lack of local support for families navigating the autism journey in the North-West of Ireland.
We are a parent-led, volunteer-run organisation that provides peer support, resources, and community events to autistic individuals, their families, and carers across Donegal and beyond.
Membership is always free. Everyone is welcome – whatever stage of the journey you're on.
