As part of a wider advocacy charity, Leeds Autism AIM contributes to advocacy support available to autistic adults in Leeds. We do this through supporting you to speak up for yourself – this is called self-advocacy. We also have free self-advocacy resources on our website to help you speak up for yourself and your rights.
Advocacy is working with you to:
- Listen to what you want and act on your behalf at all times
- Think about what choices you have
- Put forward your views so they are heard
- Stand up for your rights and interests
Advocacy is free, independent and confidential. More information about what advocacy is can be found on The Advonet Group’s website here: What is Advocacy? – The Advonet Group.
Although we do not provide advocacy ourselves, we can signpost you to services that can help. More information about what The Advonet Group can offer is further down this page.
