ALAG/Autism Hub is a user led service, by and for autistic adults who do not have an accompanying learning disability.

There is little provision in place for this group of autistic adults, who have fallen through the gaps in services only to be told they do not meet the criteria and ultimately left without the support they need.

Our aim is to improve the quality of life for autistic adults by connecting people to resources, services and organisations from a central point - "The Hub".

The Autism Hub offer advocacy, peer support, expert advice, information, and signposting to service users, their families and carers and other professionals, as well as specialist autism counselling therapeutic support.
