GROVE is a genuinely neuro-affirming, online community for autistic young people age 8-18 (or above with an EHCP). We are proudly autistic ADHD led and autistic staffed. We are also all specialists with deep knowledge of autistic experience, current theory and practice and a firm rejection of the medical model framing of autism.
We support young people by enabling opportunities to develop self-understanding, connect with other autistic people and a feel sense of belonging - all as their authentic selves.
Services:
- Mentoring: Connect with an autistic mentor - a safe person to support and guide.
- Interest-based groups: Connect with peers over a shared interest.
- Being me: Knowing myself, valuing myself, being myself 10 week group programme to explore what being ourselves - and being autistic means.
- Accreditations
-
As mentioned in the description, GROVE is Autistic/ADHD led and autistic staffed - we all have specialised knowledge of Autistic identity with the founder holding a MA in Autism and then many of our mentors having professional qualifications in autism ranging from PGCert to PhD level.
