Autism Independence
Autism Independence provides consultancy, training and guidance for those in a range of professions to bridge the gap between families and providers. We also provide support and training for families, opportunities for networking and social events, and activities for our families to share.
Autism Independence has been ground breaking in Bristol and beyond. It has been able to motivate parents to discuss what, for some, is a taboo issue. It gives them the impetus to seek support and offers guidance on a range issues relating to autism, including education and health drawing on professionals and agencies who provide services to parents and families.
