Access to work UK

Hi everyone, first time poster, female 30yrs. I was late diagnosed autistic and adhd and so still learning about myself. I applied to access to work back in January but feeling apprehensive because I feel like I'm just going to be asked how I want to be helped, and truthfully I don't know. I find it really hard to just come up with ideas of support when I've never had them in place before. For reference, I have a full-on job organising programmes with primary schools, and WFH.

If you are autistic and have received Access to Work, what support were you offered and was it worthwhile?

Thanks :):)

You won't. You'll be told "no, we can't help you, you obviously don't need it."

AtW have orders from on high to remove as much aid from people who need it as possible. Blue Labour at it's finest :(
