Autistic Community of Cornwall (ACC)

​

The ACC has been established by Autistic people for Autistic adults in Cornwall. We welcome diagnosed and self identifying adults.

 

We are a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) and not for profit organisation. In 2023 we were granted National Lottery funding to support our activities.

​

Our members are also involved in delivering training, advocacy and consultation with various services and decision makers. 

 

Discussion from Autistic people is leading what kind of support is needed to develop coping strategies for living in a non-Autistic world. We have found that spending time with, and learning from, other Autistic people is more beneficial to mental health and wellbeing than traditional therapies and medication.

Partnership working – we are stronger together!

 

As many of us know there is a considerable overlap between a number of minority groups and communities. For example, a number of us are also members of the LGBTQ+ community and Transparent Presence CIC and Kernow Neurodivergent Art.
