The National Autistic Society Scotland are delighted to announce the launch of their new programme, What’s Next?

Running until March 2028, What's next? is a programme of support designed for recently diagnosed or self-identifying autistic adults who are over the age of 18 and living in Scotland. The programme aims to support and empower autistic people by deepening their understanding of autism and autistic identity, improving wellbeing, and fostering peer connections.

Participants will attend a six-week block of online sessions where they will explore a variety of topics including diagnosis, identity, masking, executive functioning, spoon theory, and making connections.  

The programme is funded by the Scottish Government and Inspiring Scotland’s Autistic Adult Support Fund.

Rob Holland, Director of the National Autistic Society Scotland, said: 

‘Support for recently diagnosed or self-identifying autistic adults is incredibly important, so it is great to see the launch of our new What’s Next? programme. What’s Next? will provide a safe space for autistic adults, where they can learn more about what being autistic means to them and meet other autistic people. We thank Inspiring Scotland for their continued commitment to supporting autistic people through their Autistic Adult Support Fund.’
