As well as the above guides, Yorkshire Autism AIM have also produced an infographic on sleep hygiene. This was made on the back of one of their recent Mental Health Peer Support Groups, where they discussed the topic in full. A blog post with a link to the infographic can be read here: Sleep Hygiene Infographic.
Leeds Autism AIM and Yorkshire Autism AIM have also produced a guide to mental health services for autistic adults in Leeds.
