Yes, this is an all age Autism strategy and we welcome anyone from the following groups to participate in the surveys and the adults workshops:

• autistic over 13 years old (with or without a diagnosis) 
• family and carers of autistic people of any age
• staff working with autistic people of any age  

In the Spring of 2025, these consultation findings will be used to support co-producing a strategy and plan. There will be further consultation around this once it is drafted prior to the strategy’s final agreement in early Summer 2025.  

This final agreed strategy will then form the foundation for all West Sussex services to support development of new services and remodelling and improvements made to existing services all to enable better experiences for people of all ages with Autism.

Please return any PDF copies of the surveys either via email to mhcommissioning@westsussex.gov.uk or via post to the below address:
