Autism
This page is for persons with autism, and their parents, caregivers and community to find out how to get started in sports.
Support for Persons with Autism
Autism presents differently in every individual. Because autism exists on a spectrum, every person's needs, interests and starting points are unique. When you reach out to us with a question or programme enquiry, we will review your request and respond to you accordingly.
Please fill in the form below to let us know your needs and details so we can assist you directly: Contact Us Here
Persons with autism may also join in recreational sport activities offered to members of the following organisations or groups:
Autism Resource Centre
Eden Friendship Club

Email: efc@autism-association.org.sg
Phone: 6774 6649
St. Andrew's Autism Centre
For Adults with Disabilities and Special Needs
Enabling Services Hubs (ESHs) offer community support for persons with disabilities and their caregivers closer to their homes. The establishment of ESHs is part of efforts under the Enabling Masterplan 2030 and takes a regional approach to bring community support services closer to the homes of persons with disabilities and their caregivers.
By joining an ESH, adults with autism and their caregivers will have opportunities to participate in sport and fitness activities.
Enabling Services Hubs are currently located in Jurong, Punggol and Tampines.
How to Get Started
Participation
Persons with autism can explore a range of sport programmes and activities through their respective social service agencies and other service providers. For more information, you can refer to Sport Programmes below.
Gym Orientation
For persons with autism and/or their caregivers who are looking to visit the gym independently, a gym orientation at selected ActiveSG gyms is available to help you familiarise yourself with the layout and equipment.
Find out more about the gym orientation programme for persons with disabilities.
Competitive Pathway
There is currently no standalone Paralympic classification for autism. Athletes with autism can only compete in the Paralympic Games if they also have a co-occurring intellectual disability that meets specific medical thresholds (classified under the II-1 or T20 classes).
Sport Programmes
The following sport providers have existing programmes for persons with autism.
Please check with the service providers directly whether you, your child/ward, or your client is eligible or suitable for the activities listed, as well as other details such as course and registration details.
