Your Voice will now be focusing on the Neurodiverse Network of self-advocates.
Our Neurodiverse network meetings provide a safe space for autistic people, who don’t have a learning disability, but who may also be neurodivergent in other ways, to share experiences and discuss issues that are important to them.

The concept of self-advocacy is newer to the autistic community, than other communities.
As well as discussing issues that are important to the group, NHS England, who fund Your Voice, have asked the Neurodiverse Network to give their feedback on the following topics over the next 12 months:

more about the previous work of the Neurodiverse Network
Our project has recently changed. From early 2021 until March 2025 Your Voice brought self-advocacy groups from across the South West. During this time we held regular Learning Disability Network meetings run by and for Experts by Experience or groups supporting them. Visit our Project History page to find out more.
