SERVICE DETAILS
Scotland...
Our Number 6 One Stop Shop started in 2005 in Edinburgh for people with Aspergers. It was (and still is) an innovative way to provide support, advice and social opportunities to autistic people. The service quickly grew and we now support over 2,700 autistic people across three Scottish One Stop Shops in Edinburgh, Inverness and Perth.
From their bases and through community outreach services our One Stop Shops offer support and services to autistic people throughout the following areas Edinburgh, Lothians, Scottish Borders, Highland and Perth & Kinross
Edinburgh Number 6...
Number 6 is a service for adults (16 and over) with High Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger Syndrome (AS) who live in the Lothians and the Borders.
There are now three distinctive strands within Number 6:
- One-Stop Shop (providing free social opportunities and 1-1 advice and support on a range of issues);
- Outreach (funded packages of 1-1 support)
- Housing
This unique service offers a range of information, advice and social activities to enable adults to live as independently and successfully as possible.
Anyone interested in using the services at Number 6 should book an appointment to meet with a member of staff, who will give you a brief induction to the resources available.
