Limitations and possible poor fit
- The peer networks are tied to the PACE project and should not be described as universally available to every autistic adult in Northern Ireland.
- Eligibility, funded geography and network availability can change.
- A coordinated peer network is not therapy, crisis care or a guarantee of personal fit.
Cost and access notes
- The reviewed page states that the networks are online and that text-based communication is available via chat; contact Autism NI for current access arrangements.
