Autism Peer Support
Making Your Voice Heard
Autism Peer Support is a flexible, strengths-based service that supports you, as an adult with autism and/or a learning disability, to feel heard, valued and connected.
It offers safe and inclusive spaces where you can share experiences, build confidence and strengthen your sense of identity and belonging.
Why it matters
You may feel isolated or unsure where to find support, especially during diagnosis, life transitions or when trying to make social connections. Autism Peer Support creates welcoming spaces where you can express yourself freely, explore your strengths and develop the confidence to take part in everyday life.
Key Services
What the service offers
Autism Peer Support brings you together with others through support, creative opportunities and inclusive social activities. You can share experiences, meet others who understand and take part in groups that build confidence and emotional wellbeing. Creative sessions in art, music, media and storytelling help you express yourself and celebrate your identity.
You can also help shape services and improve public spaces, ensuring autistic voices are heard and understood. Your family and carers can join supportive forums to share experiences, learn from others and build resilience. All activities are shaped by lived experience.

What people say
“The sessions were genuinely transformative. For the first time, my sensory needs were understood and respected. I felt validated, supported, and less alone.”
“This service fills a huge gap. It offers a safe space that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere, helping people understand themselves and avoid burnout.”
“It was the first time in my life that my autistic needs were acknowledged. I felt part of something, rather than alone in my own head.”
“These groups help uncover and nurture autistic strengths — benefiting not only individuals, but the wider community.”
