Since 2016, the Autism Education Trust (AET) has been guided by a Panel of Autistic Young Experts (AYE), who share their voices and lived experiences to shape, influence and advise our work.

Introducing the Autistic Young Experts...
We’re a group of autistic young people (aged 17-25) from across England and we sit on a Panel that meets every month.
Each of us has different experiences of education, and of being autistic.
The education settings we have attended vary, and include home education, mainstream, specialist, alternative provision, college and university.
We are all autistic but that doesn’t mean that our experiences are the same.
Many of us have struggled with the education system.
One of the main reasons we are on the panel is to ensure that our individual experience of being autistic is shared. We want to make sure that other autistic young people, have a better time in education than we did.
As well as advising on AET materials and strategy, we also speak at events, co-deliver training and support autism education networks.
