What is Autonomy?

The Special Interest Club is part of Sunderland Culture’s Autonomy project.

Autonomy is a new, creative programme for autistic individuals living in Sunderland. It has been set up to help autistic young people (16-25) to socially and creatively connect with other autistic young adults and their carers. We believe that autistic adults should have the freedom and ability to enjoy creative and cultural opportunities, whilst being respected as individuals with unique needs and preferences.

 

The Autonomy project is generously supported by the Association of Independent Museums (AIM) Connected Communities programme, which is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s Know Your Neighbourhood Fund, through Arts Council England.
