Services that Triple A offers include, individual employment support, autism training and education for employers and organisations, one-to-one mentoring, and weekly social groups for autistic adults. We also are commissioned to run post-diagnosis support groups which have been coproduced, designed and are exclusively delivered by autistic facilitators.
