Introducing myself

Hopeful

Is there any help in the UK for Adults on the spectrum?

Thanks and pleased to meet you all.

  • It really does depends on the help you need and want ? There is no support that focuses on just autism but depending on what support you need there is stuff available depending on your location of course.

    Their are employment organisation that you need to be referred by the job centre that work with people with disabilities, mental health and individuals with low economic prospects that work with you to build not only employability skills but work with you to gain skills to become self sufficient and many more. Examples of Organisations would be the Shawtrust and Scope. 

    Your local authority should have social services that can signpost you to organisation as well as provides a service known as welfare rights to help you fill out and apply for benefits as well as appeal any benefit decisions like Personal independence Payments. They can also provide a needs assessment if you need it that can result in support with social housing if the need is their. 

    Mental Health Service are not suitable for individuals on the spectrum as they are not equipped with treating us.
