National Late Diagnosis Programme
Late diagnosis support
We are delighted that our programme has been awarded funding through Scottish Government’s Adult Autism Support Fund. This is a National Late Diagnosis Group programme (LDG) – online and in-person. It has been developed by autistic and non-autistic staff and shaped by its participants.
The eight session, neuro-affirming programme covers a range of topics, and provides opportunities for participants to connect with others who share similar experiences to them
We deliver online groups, so it doesn’t matter where you live, you can take part.
However, there are also opportunities to join in-person groups if you live in the following locations: Edinburgh, Scottish Borders, Tayside, Highland and West Lothian.
Participants comment on how informative and fun the programme is, and how it’s made a real positive difference to their life:
“I feel that I am not alone”
“This is the first time I’ve ever felt truly understood”
“The small numbers in the group made it feel more inclusive…It just generally felt good all round”
“Meeting other autistic people in a small group and sharing our experiences was what I found most helpful”
