Wokingham Mencap 

Wokingham Mencap was provided funding in autumn 2006 to support a 30 month project to identify the needs of adults with autism and to write the Borough Autism Strategy. The strategy is now complete and highlights the gaps between needs and provision, makes recommendations designed to improve local arrangements and highlights areas of best practice.

Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Adult Autism team

This is a specialist team which provides a service for adults on the autism spectrum who might otherwise either have not been able to receive a service or who might have been supported by other teams like CTPLD or the CMHT. They aim to help clients access meaningful day time activities, employment and housing. 1:1 work and group work is available. Clients may have issues with drugs and alcohol, criminal offending behaviour, or needing parenting skills etc. Support is given in the community and if required joint working is done with the local community mental health team. Click here to link to their website.
