While working in a harm reduction service, you might find that it’s mostly focused on reducing one specific harm, while forgetting the depth and complexity of all the issues that affect people using, and working in, harm reduction services. One area that is often overlooked are the unique needs and strengths of autistic people (and neurodivergent people in general).

Dissatisfied with the lack of information available on autism in adults, in 2018 we founded Embrace Autism (called Embrace ASD until April 2021), which we intended as a platform to distribute research and experience-based information on autism.
