At Autism In Mind we are proud to be an organisation that puts ‘people’ front and centre in everything we do. We focus on individuals and strive to ensure we meet the needs of everyone we work with.
Connect Support Prevent sessions in Sunderland (from at our base; The Place, Sunderland) and South Tyneside (from our base; The Autism Hub, South Tyneside) are held weekly and are open to autistic adults, without a learning disability, both pre and post diagnosis. At these sessions individuals can discuss any issues or concerns they may be having. Members can either drop-in or arrange a one to one appointment. We connect with autistic adults and offer an autism friendly environment where individuals can be themselves and reduce social isolation. We can support autistic adults with challenges they are facing in their lives including; Independent living skills, Making phone calls, Writing letters and emails as well as Housing issues or problems
Me, Myself & Autism is an autism specific self awareness course which is delivered over 10 weeks. With the support of our team, we explore the strengths and the challenges that autistic people may have. Through a structured framework of discussion, introspection and activities, we investigate the core elements of autism and what that means to each participant. Participants work together to explore situations where speaking up is difficult and share ideas of how to better manage their interactions before they reach a state of panic, meltdown, or depression.
