What are we doing?
Over the last year we have been listening to the experiences of autistic adults, family members and carers from across the East of England with our Voice Groups, understanding where things can be improved and feeding back to the NHS.
Hear Me, See Me Voice Groups
How can I get involved with the Voice Groups?
Join us at one of our sessions! If you are an autistic adult living in the East of England we want to hear about your experiences. Our groups are held every 2 months on zoom. Contact us to attend one of these sessions or find out more information.
Why are we doing this?
We need things to change and this is why. Hear directly from our members and their families about their experiences below.
