Adults & self-advocacy

Support for autistic adult life

A practical starting point to help you prepare your next conversation.

Begin with your own goals

Support may relate to work, education, relationships, daily life or understanding your identity. You can choose the areas that matter to you.

Find focused resources

The National Autistic Society has information about employment, diagnosis, wellbeing, social care and everyday life. Some eligibility information is UK-specific; confirm local US services separately.

Ask providers directly

Ask whether a service works with adults, what its approach is, and how your preferences and decisions will guide support.
