Funded as a Thematic Seminar, the Bridges to Autism project had the ultimate goal of developing a new Grundtvig network, bringing together partners with a common interest in education for adults with autism. Initial research activities, confirming the specific educational needs of adults with autism led to enhanced European cooperation and to initial knowledge-sharing amongst partners. A online Bridges to Autism forum was further established to promote active discussion and debate on both the policy and the practice of adult education for adults with autism.
