Autistic Resident Survey

Barking and Dagenham are looking to create a new autism strategy to better support autistic residents, and we would love to get your help! We want to hear the experiences of autistic residents, families and carers, so we know what the most important topics are and ensure we are on track in creating a borough you feel supported in.


We will ask you about topics such as:


  • Awareness: How autism is understood in your community.
  • Education and Transitioning: School experiences and moving into adult social care.
  • Employment: Challenges and opportunities in finding a job.
  • Housing: Accessibility and accommodations.
  • Healthcare: Access to local services.
  • Interactions with the Police: Ensuring safety and understanding.


Then at the end of the survey, you will have the chance to tell us about any other challenges you are having and what you would like to see from the council.

You can write as much or as little as you want for each question, and anything you write will be helpful for us to know!
