E-Befriender

If you or a member of your family has autism or Asperger syndrome, an e-befriender can provide you with regular online support and social contact.

Our e-befrienders exchange emails with you or another member of your family, chatting about things that interest or concern you and offering a friendly, supportive link with the wider community.

We take the time to match you with an e-befriender you have something in common with.

Apply for an e-befriender

Applying for an e-befriender is easy. Email e-befriending@nas.org.uk and we'll send you an application form by post or email. Please tell us your full name and address if you want to receive the application form by post. We can guide you through your application over the phone if you need us to.

Our e-befriending service is web-based, so you will need to be able to use the internet to make contact with your e-befriender. You can live anywhere in the UK as all correspondence is online.

Once you have completed an application form, we will send you a link to our e-befriending site where you can register your details, choosing your own username and password.
