NHS North West London currently delivers a peer-led support, advice and signposting service for autistic people aged 14 and over without a learning disability living in NW London. One of the key features of this service is that it is delivered by people with lived experience of autism and has been shaped, delivered, tested, and evaluated by the autistic people, and families who use it. The service will provide direct face-to-face and virtual support to autistic adults delivered as 1:1 and group sessions and deliver group sessions to young people aged 14 to 17 years. It will also offer specialist training and advice to families, employers and health, social care, and education providers to improve autism awareness and acceptance within communities and the wider system. Achieving a strong and effective model of co-production is integral to the success and impact of the service; in addition to ensuring that people with lived experience are employed at all levels of the organisation, key features of the service will be the co-development and delivery of training and peer-led support and advice in addition to facilitating sessions to support autistic people to share their views and experience to co-design other specialist and mainstream services and pathways.
