In 2005 we started England's first advocacy project for people with Autism and Asperger's syndrome.
We are much bigger now and have lots of workers. Our co ordinators support a large team of volunteer advocates
Now we support:
- Short term advocacy
- Citizen advocacy
- Crisis advocacy
- Self advocacy (speaking up)
- Peer advocacy
