In this Autism Infocast, you'll learn how autistic people in the UK can access vital social care support. We cover the essential first step: requesting a needs assessment from your local council and what that conversation entails. You'll understand the national eligibility criteria for support, ensuring people receive the care they need. We'll give you insight into the varied types of support available, from daily living assistance to community engagement and employment help. We'll also help you to discover how person-centred planning and personal budgets can empower people to have choice and control over their support, making an independent and fulfilling life an achievable goal.
