Ambitious about Autism
Ambitious about Autism has today launched the UK’s first online platform for autistic young people.
Website: Ambitious about Autism
This will offer autistic young people aged 16 to 25 a safe and moderated online space to help them understand their autistic identity and reduce isolation and loneliness that many feel. Young people will be able to take part in peer support sessions, share experiences and find volunteering, work experience and employment opportunities. There will also be opportunities for them to work together and campaign for change.
