Quick question for today:

What do you think makes the biggest difference for autistic adults in everyday life?

Clear plans?

The right environment?

Feeling listened to?

There isn’t one right answer, and that’s okay, which is why person-centred support is so important.

Independence doesn’t look the same for everyone.

It might be trying something new.

Or sticking with something familiar.

Or building confidence slowly, over time.

What matters is that progress is shaped around the individual, not expectations.

As routines start to return, knowing what to expect can really help.

Clear plans, familiar schedules, and simple communication can make everyday life feel more manageable for autistic adults.

Sometimes, it’s the small details that provide the most reassurance.

As things slowly start up again in early January, knowing what’s happening, and when, can make a big difference.

Clear plans and familiar routines can help autistic adults feel more settled as everyday life resumes.

Support doesn’t need to rush. It can return steadily and clearly.

Happy New Year from all of us at Salisbury Support 4 Autism 🎉

The start of a new year doesn’t have to mean big plans or big changes.

For autistic adults, feeling understood, supported, and comfortable can matter far more than setting goals or making resolutions.

Today marks the end of the year.

For some people, that can feel meaningful.

For others, it’s just another day.

For autistic adults, what often matters most is knowing what to expect next. Clear plans and familiar routines can help today feel manageable and steady.

Boxing Day is often a more relaxed day.

There’s usually less pressure.

Fewer plans.

More space to slow down.

Even if routines aren’t fully back yet, taking things gently and keeping the day simple can help autistic adults feel settled and comfortable.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Salisbury Support 4 Autism 🎄

We’re thinking of everyone today – individuals we support, families, and carers.

However today looks for you, we hope there are moments of calm, comfort, and reassurance.

Autistic runner Hayden Kenyon completed a 14-mile trail race on Lundy Island. He’s spoken about how running has helped his confidence, independence, and wellbeing, while also raising awareness around autism.

It’s a great reminder that small steps, taken consistently, can lead to big achievements.

Clear routines, familiar people, and predictable approaches can help autistic adults feel more secure and confident day to day.

Small consistent actions build trust over time.

In autism support, progress might be gaining confidence, building independence, or feeling more comfortable in daily situations.

Recognising progress in all its forms helps people feel valued and supported.

Meaningful change is often gradual, not dramatic.

💙 Support starts with understanding.

Every autistic adult is different. What works for one person may not work for another.

Taking time to listen and learn helps build trust and makes support more effective.
