Aspie Trainers

Training project hoping to improve people’s understanding of #Asperger’s and #Autism through the delivery of high quality training by #ActuallyAutistic people.

Just to add to this - Aspie Trainers exists because of the work of autistic self-advocates, their groups and their supporters and many of our team have benefited from issue based support over the years. If these services go it will be a sad loss.

Advocacy and self-advocacy support services in West Sussex are at risk of closure due to cuts. These have been cruicial services to the local autistic community and others. There is still time to sign the petition to support this important service https://t.co/bsSEpHrmal
