Our mission is to support Actually Autistic adults to be themselves without judgement or fear. Founder, Anna Taylor is on a mission. When establishing Autism Matters in 2012, she knew that there were many support services for Autistic children, but very little to support adults. “So I asked Autistic adults what they wanted and together we designed a service exclusively for them.” They told me that they wanted a place that was safe to be who they are, without judgement and having to fit into anyones expectations of them. Together we co-produce over 40 social groups a month, plan and provide one to one support, create employment opportunities, develop work skills and have amazing short breaks around the world!

Story

At Autism Matters we support our members to be themselves without judgment or fear by helping them on their journey through life. Everything we do is individualised, as no two

Autistic people are the same.

We provide our members with a variety of activities, we have Social Groups where we go to restaurants,enjoy the theatre, rock climbing and so much more.

Our members enjoy a variety of Short Breaks. We have a Short Break every month; this year we have visited Austria, Cyprus, Spain and Greece just to name a few.

Our one-to-one Personal Assistant Support Service provides our members with a matched

PA support worker where they can find their identity and independence.

Last but definitely not least we have our Autism Angels project. This allows Autistic adults the opportunity to learn new skills at their pace. The Angels help people in need, working within the community, our Angels cut people's grass, help clean up gardens, build shelves etc. arange of requests come in.

Autism Matters supports Autistic Adults to be who they want to be.
