Autus - creating opportunities for growth, learning and work for people with ASC

Autus is a small charity creating exciting opportunities for growth, learning and work for young people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions.

Using our innovative and engaging virtual environment we offer a range of programmes and activities to help build confidence and develop social communication, digital and employability skills.

We offer training courses, job coaching and a social job club to help our service users secure and sustain work.

Our online courses are predominantly accessed from a home connection and participants need to have access to a PC or laptop and basic IT skills including elementary knowledge of how to use email, the internet and instant messaging chat.

We accept referrals and self referrals.

We can tailor courses to suit participants in a variety of ways. Course content can be specialised to suit individual skills or interests e.g. coding, graphic design, writing etc. Session times are flexible to fit round participants' lives and suit individual variations in learning speed. Because courses take place online, the physical location where the individual participates can be adapted to suit his/her needs. The course can also be tailored to take individual social confidence levels into account, with the ability to communicate via text rather than voice (but the option of building up to voice later on) and the option of working on a one-to-one basis at first and then building up to group sessions. We focus on quality of provision, not quantity of learners or qualifications.
