Co-design brings relevant stakeholders together to design new products, services, and policies.

The Autistics’ Guide to Adulthood used a co-design process to plan for, develop and implement the project.

Members from the Autistic community were employed as part of the Project Team- the team responsible for developing all content for the project, including the copywrite, infographics and videos as well as other supporting material.

Extensive community engagement with the Autistic community, including a national survey where more than 400 autistic adults partook, was completed to clearly identify the needs and desires of the border Australian Autistic community. Members that specialised in certain areas were also interviewed to support the development of the modules.

Additionally, a National Advisory Group composed of diverse autistics from across Australia, was formed through an expression of interest process. The National Advisory Group supported the development and review of all content, and many other aspects of the project including the branding and the development of the name and logo for the project.

Together the Autistics’ Guide to Adulthood was created.
