Birmingham, United Kingdom Resources for Autism Full time

**About Resources for Autism**

Resources for Autism’s vision is a world where people with autism are able to live fulfilling lives, with equal chances to those of their non autistic peers. For over 27 years, we have provided practical support for autistic people and for those who love and care for them. From 1:1 support to group activities, therapy sessions, from parent and sibling groups to holiday play schemes, we aim to give those whom we support a better and happier life.

As an organisation, we pride ourselves on our openness, commitment to our community, and supporting each other. Many of us enjoy the benefits of flexible working, and our staff turnover is remarkably low - which some attribute to being part of a productive, supportive, non-political and warm working culture.

Our practice as an organisation is founded on the fundamental ethos of acceptance for an individual exactly as they are and from that place we work with their environment (be it parents, teachers, professional networks) in order to ensure the individual is appropriately understood and supported to be the best version of themselves they could ever be. We do not see an individual’s behaviour as challenging per se but we see their behaviour as challenging services. Our aim goes beyond developing resilient parents or resilient children but to creating resilient services that are aware and inclusive of neurodivergence.
