Our autistic network meeting provides a safe space for autistic people, who don’t have a learning disability, but who may be neurodivergent in other ways, to share experiences and discuss issues that are important to them.
 
Having a group such as ours is particularly important, as people without a learning disability find they can ‘fall through the gaps’ in  services or discover that services have not been designed for autistic people.
 
The concept of self-advocacy is newer to the autistic community, than other communities.
 
It is really important autistic people get their voices heard!

What do we talk about? 

We talk about many things that affect the autistic community, including:  
  • The diagnostic system (and the journey to getting a diagnosis)
  • Reasonable adjustments
  • Benefits
  • Accessing social care
  • The overall impact on people’s mental health. 
From our discussions we make recommendations directly to the NHS on how to improve services for the autistic community.

When do we meet? 

When: the first Thursday of the month from 6pm.

Where: on Zoom.
