The Adult Autism Service was developed after a wide ranging consultation with autistic people, parents/ carers, professionals and communities. The consultation highlighted a lack of access to appropriate assessment and support for autistic people who failed to meet the criteria for many services. Some of the key issues identified were:
- Emotional issues such as anxiety and anger
- Developing social and daily living skills
- Accessing leisure and recreational activities
- Accessing adult diagnostic assessments
- Coping with harmful or distressing behaviours
