Ambitious to Explain Autism Diagnosis

Ambitious to Explain Autism Diagnosis

Getting an autism diagnosis as a young adult can be a moment of huge significance. It can feel like finally getting answers to questions about yourself, or feelings of difference from others. But an autism diagnosis can also raise many more questions that need answering and information is hard to come by.

That’s why Ambitious about Autism’s Youth Network, which connects young people aged 14-25 with other autistic young people on an online platform, have created their own resources to help young people understand their diagnosis.

“Our collection of videos and blogs, all written or featuring autistic young people themselves, explain diagnosis, autistic identity and everything that surrounds it. We have divided the videos based on different experiences – getting diagnosed as a child, as a teenager and as an adult. We hope that there will be an experience that resonates with everyone, wherever you are on your journey.”

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
