We are running a project to provide fortnightly post-diagnostic support sessions to autistic adults in Leeds.

Employment Mentoring

We provide employment mentoring services to autistic adults in Leeds with little or no support who would benefit from independent, autism-specific support.

This is support from an autistic member of staff to help you understand your autism and create life strategies.
