Supporting autistic adults

AIM Sunderland is a post-diagnostic service* for autistic adults (who do not have a learning disability) and live in Sunderland. 


The Sunderland Me, Myself & Autism Service 

Our psychoeducational course ‘Me, Myself & Autism’ supports autistic adults to have a greater understanding of autism and what it means to them.

Low-Level Preventative Support to assist with communication and promote self-advocacy. We offer:

Practical support with things autistic people finds difficult, communication and self-advocacy, to teach new skills and increased confidence.

Emotional support to listen to and validate autistic experience.


Speech and Language (SALT) – individuals who complete the Me, Myself & Autism course will be offered the opportunity to access a SALT assessment after which a report will be produced.

Sensory Occupational Therapy – individuals who complete the Me, Myself & Autism course will be able to access sensory workshops to support them with identifying individual sensory needs and to provide practical support strategies. 


*Please see our online referral forms for referral criteria.
