If anyone would like to be part of the new autism strategy please see the details below to join up.
Are you an autistic person or a parent or carer of an autistic person? We want to hear from you.
A new Autism Strategy is being developed for Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland, and you can help influence the support and services available to autistic people in our communities.
You need to be aged 16 or over, live in Middlesbrough or Redcar and Cleveland and meet one of the below criteria to be able to take part:
- A health professional has said you are autistic
- You are waiting to find out if you are autistic
- You think you might be autistic
- You are a family member or carer of an autistic person
- You support local autistic people
Tell us what's working well, what challenges autistic people face and what needs to change to make our support for you better.
There are a variety of ways to take part, adjustments can be made to ensure everyone can participate, and a trusted person can attend with you.
Participants can be paid for their time, and support with some travel costs is also available.
To get involved, please email [email protected] or call 0203 488 3655 and ask about the South Tees Autism Strategy. Provide your name, where you live, how you'd like to be contacted and any support you may need to be able to take part.
The deadline for responses is Monday, 23 November 2026.
