The Professional autismproject met with a new contact from the NorthEast Lincolnshire Volunteer Bureau to discuss supporting autistic students transitioning from school to college and employment. The contact said many parents are frustrated by the lack of support for their autistic children preparing for their futures. The autism project representative presented their work and credentials to the contact, who was impressed and agreed to help promote collaboration between the organizations to better serve the autism community. They plan to meet again after the contact reviews provided autism information.
