Consultation with stakeholders

Mostly autistic people and their families but also statutory services. We have completed satisfaction surveys without membership and receive feedback from training and consultancy activities from statutory sectors on the information we provide. It has been phenomenal. We have also recently done a joint project with the university of Exeter and the NHS on clinical research outcomes and engagement for autistic people which I presented to the NHS research engagement network in 2024. This will lead to further research around life outcomes for autistic people.
