Nat’s Story
Me and my mum found tap after my apprenticeship. We were looking at things that an autistic person can do. We planned where to go and how to get there for the first time. We spoke to staff about what placement and opportunities there are.
I have found it helpful, and my mum has said it has helped improve my confidence; being able to travel independently up to London. At The Autism Project (TAP) I feel understood. My mum also wanted me to go to placements unfamiliar to help me build myself.
