Next up, Aspiedent will be back with their fortnightly employability drop-in from 4pm to 6pm. It’s for anyone who needs tips on finding the right job and wants to ready themselves for the world of work.

From 5.15pm to 6.45pm, it provides autistic adults with an opportunity to feed into how services for autistic people are run in Leeds, focusing on a set number of topics. All autistic adults in Leeds are welcome to attend.
Vale Autism Hub – Thursday 16th March – 2pm to 7pm
At Vale this coming Thursday, there are a couple of things on to pique your interest, alongside all the usual advocacy support, information and advice from our staff.
Throughout the session, we will have employment advice. It’s there for autistic folks in Leeds who want some tips on how to find a job, stay in work or find a voluntary role to build up their skillsets.
Our monthly support group for LGBTQIA* autistic adults is back! That’s from 5.30pm to 7pm and is there for anyone who wants to discuss the experience of being autistic and LGBTQIA*.
