This group offers an opportunity for autistic young adults, aged 18 to 25, who live in the Reading Borough Council area, to make connections and get advice.
It will provide a safe space where they set the agenda for discussions and activities and an opportunity to develop friendships and a peer support network to improve their wellbeing and self-confidence.
One of our adult autism support mentors and an autistic volunteer facilitate the group and can offer advice about autism and help to get support from other services, such as healthcare, benefits advice and employment support.
The meetings will take place twice a month. Details of dates, times and the venue will be available soon
