Autism Support for autistic people
Autism Support for autistic people
involving you in choosing your support plan
Our support for autistic people is designed around your needs, interests and preferences and we encourage feedback from you about the work we’re doing.
We have a national group of autism experts, including two National Autistic Society (NAS) accredited assessors, so we are experts in supporting you to live the life you want – where, how and with whom you choose.
Whatever you’re doing, whether at home, going out, finding education or employment, we’re committed to providing exceptional specialist autism support for you.
We’ll work with you to create your support plan and involve you in choosing your support workers, providing you with specialist staff who understand you and your autism. All our staff are trained in autism awareness and receive extra training as part of our NAS accreditation, so you can rely on us for safe, flexible and personalised support.
What is Autism
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. Autism is a spectrum condition and affects people in different ways. Like all people, autistic people have their own strengths and weaknesses. One in 100 people are on the autism spectrum and there are around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK.
