Case study: Community Connect
The problem
Autistic people need to be heard, they need a voice and to be represented in society. Often they are overlooked or decisions are made on their behalves without out consultation. They need a safe space to have their voices heard and to have their insights used to drive a better understanding of what is needed, what will have an impact, and how it can be accessed. Too often assumptions are made, when all we need to do is ask.
The Solution
Community connect promotes social inclusion, a sense of belonging and increase in self-worth which boosts well-being and reduces suicidal risk. People have connected with each other and have noted similarities in their experiences.
