Why our Training is Different:
With the wide range of information and resources regarding autism that is available, it can be incredibly difficult to know what is right, and what needs to be done to ensure the best outcomes for autistic people, but we are here to help.
At Spectrum Gaming, you will not just be working with adults with lived experience, but we have worked together with local authorities, strategical boards, schools, and much more in a professional capacity, so we also have extensive practical experience of supporting autistic people, in addition to being autistic ourselves.
We also believe in true representation of autistic people. Rather than running typical boards or groups for young people who feel confident enough to attend these, we focus on working in coproduction with young people who are often unheard, including young people who may be struggling to attend school, may be too anxious to attend typical 'youth voice groups' and more. This means we can offer insight which is often unheard, as long as you are able to adapt and work in a way that works for these young people.
One big difference between us and others, is that everything we earn from training and project involvement will be invested directly into running and maintaining the activities we run for members of our community. So by using our services or paying for a training session, you are helping to support autistic young people to develop friendhips and have a voice. We also have autistic young people within our community who have gained enough confidence through our community that they now write and deliver training themselves, supervised/ supported by us.
