We have developed a range of services to facilitate this mission based upon our member's feedback. Our members told us that the options available for autistic adults without a learning difficulty can be very limited, as they often do not qualify for support. In response, Autism Bedfordshire began to develop a range of services for autistic adults in Bedfordshire who are at risk of social isolation but do not qualify for statutory support. Since then we have continued to grow and adapt to an increasing demand yet our vision has remained the same: to empower autistic adults across Bedfordshire. are run across the county for able autistic adults, these EVENING groups are supported by at least twMo EmMemPHbeISrs SoOf tLhUeT aIOduNltS services staff team. The groups meet regularly at the same venue enjoying a range of leisure activities that the group SOCIAL has planned to do. These groups are particularly valuable to members who feel socially isolated or require structure and support to engage in a social environment. Currently, we GROUPS run: A fortnightly group for 18-25-year-olds in Bedford A fortnightly group for over 25’s in Bedford A monthly group for over 35’s in Bedford A monthly all age group in Leighton Buzzard
