The National Autistic Society (NAS) is the largest charity supporting autistic people, their aim is to transform lives and changing attitudes. Recently, NAS announced a new Post-Diagnostic Support Service, aimed at young Scottish residents aged 12 to 18. The innovative project aims to support individuals to learn to understand and embrace their identity as an autistic person. Their work explores a variety of topics including understanding autism, managing anxiety and building on their social skills. Each person gets approximately 6 weeks worth of individual support. After this they are directed to other appropriate services which could be of value to them.
