GROVE is a genuinely neuro-affirming, online community for Autistic young people in the UK. We are proudly AuDHD led with most Mentors also being Autistic and/or otherwise neurodivergent all with deep knowledge of Autistic experience, current theory and practice and a firm rejection of the medical model framing of autism.

We support young people by enabling safe and authentic connection and a sense of belonging both with individual Mentoring and also in groups with other Autistic young people.

We also offer bespoke 'Autistic Identity' programmes (available in small groups and via individual mentoring) to help with self-understanding (some may call this 'post-diagnostic support').

Please visit our website for more information.
