Leeds Autism AIM’s Services

Advocacy

We can support you to communicate your needs and help you to understand and stand up for your rights.

Information and Signposting

Whether it’s through our drop-ins, one-to-one or online, we provide information and signposting to you.

Resources

We produce free resources for you that can help with such things as accessing health services and expressing your feelings.

Post-Diagnostic

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.

One-to-One Peer Support

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

Autistic-led Groups

We run autistic-led peer groups online and in person. These are run every month at our Autism Hub and on Zoom.

Autism Hub

We run regular booked appointment-only and drop-in sessions at The Community Wellbeing Hub in Leeds.
