Abstract
Norfolk County Council commissioned a new service that aimed to deliver short-term low level support for autistic adults (the Norfolk Autism Adult Support Service). The service involves one-to-one work with a coach for up to 12 weeks and will focus on a specific issue, for example: life skills, confidence building, or accessing other services. The service has been set up in response to guidance (LGA2022; SCIE 2017) which suggests that low level preventative support should be available for autistic people and is often more appropriate than higher level health or social care support, which can be counterproductive. Anecdotal evidence from other areas of the country suggests that this type of support is considered positive by autistic people and is effective at enabling autistic people to live more independently, preventing problems escalating to costly and intensive crisis support and reducing the need for longer term social care services. This research project was set up to find out how best to evaluate the impact of this type of service
