In January 2018 Autism East Midlands merged with 25 year old Northamptonshire based autism charity, Autism Concern. This merger has not only increased the geographical reach of Autism East Midlands, as the charity now supports families in Northamptonshire, but it also increases the specialised knowledge of the charity.
