About us
Welcome to The Autism Wellbeing Project! Are you an autistic adult or a family member looking for support that actually “gets it?” Are you a professional who wants a support organisation to signpost people to that genuinely supports autistic people. Do you want training that is written and delivered by autistic people? Look no further! We're autism-led and autism-informed, here to make a difference and shake things up a bit! We’ve heard the horror stories. We’ve listened to the frustrations. We are experts by experience. We want to get it right and we really care about making things as easy and as supportive as possible. We know every autistic person is different and we know that autistic adults need something just for them! 🌈 Founded on the principles of inclusivity, integrity, understanding, and empowerment, we're not just another support organisation – we're a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) driven by passion and experience. Here's what we offer: 🤝 Autistic-Led Support: Our team consists of amazing staff who understand either through their own experience, or through the experiences of being carers and supporters to autistic loved ones. We have a team of autistic experts by experience who inform and guide everything we do. 🌟 Holistic Approach: We know how hard it can be when you are passed from service to service, having to access new places and meet new people and repeatedly needing to tell your story to people. Our model changes that. We have combined the three sides of the “Health Triangle” to support all parts of what makes people “well” We look at mental health, physical health and social health in a relaxed and friendly environment. From autism specialist personal assistants and mentors to therapy and social activities- we’ve got things covered! 🎯 Mission: Our mission is simple yet powerful – to empower and support autistic individuals to lead fulfilling lives and reach their full potential- whatever that looks like for them.

Planning for Rest and Recovery Preparing for and recovering from events is essential during the festive season. Allowing extra time to rest before gatherings and decompress afterward can help prevent overwhelm, especially for those navigating transitions between activities. How do you create space for recovery over Christmas? #RechargeAndRest #NeurodivergentSelfCare #ChristmasTransitions #FestiveWellbeing
