A new Sunderland-based community interest company is aiming to provide free support for people with autism, other spectrum-related diagnosis and their families.
Shout 360 CIC is a not-for-profit organisation founded by Michael Colling and Tracy Woodhouse, providing counselling support to autistic children and adults at all stages of their journey, from self-identification through to the assessment process, diagnosis and beyond.
All sessions are delivered by professional counsellors who have engaged in autism specific training, including Mr Colling, who received his own autism diagnosis in his thirties after struggling to find support through school and into early adulthood.
