Our History In 1981, a group of Bromley parents and professionals formed the Trust to raise local awareness of autism and to meet the urgent need for specialist residential provision for adults with autism, to enable them to live in their own local community. As a result, the first community residential home for adults with ASD in the UK was opened in 1982 and pioneered a whole new model of care.
