LORIC Autism Ideas Cafe is an opportunity for anyone with an interest in autism to meet, have discussions and share ideas .

LORIC Ideas Cafe events are an opportunity for anyone with a personal, professional or academic interest in autism to meet, share ideas and collaborate on new projects.

The purpose of the event is to allow a space for people to network and consider how issues affecting the autistic community in Lincolnshire can be addressed.

As our last Autism Ideas Cafe was back in February, the aims of this session will be to:

-Re-establish our network of members of the autistic community and autism support organisations

- To update each other regarding current events and initiatives

- To consider the way in which the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people with autism, and the people that support them, in Lincolnshire

There will also be dedicated time for you to spend on your own discussions, ideas and collaborations.

Once registered, a link will be sent out to you closer to the event date.

This event is funded by Research England's Strategic Priorities Fund.
