Autism Survey (October 2023)

Can you spare a few minutes to help us make Newcastle upon Tyne a great place to live for autistic people.

Skills for People are working with Collaborative Newcastle to contribute towards an Autism plan for Newcastle upon Tyne.

We are asking autistic people and their families what would help them to have the life that they want. This could be understanding what autism means to you, mental health and wellbeing services, housing, friendships and relationships or education and employment support.

The information provided in this survey will only be used for the purpose of this consultation and information provided is anonymous
