Number 6 is a resource set up by the organisation, Autism Initiatives. It's a resource for Diagnosed Autistic Adults to socialise and learn with their fellow Autistics. The staff are fantastic and the opportunities they offer are great but sadly if you have a physical disability you will find access an issue here. The street they are based on is narrow and the pavement is rough with lots of potholes and very little space to maneuvre into the building itself. Inside, there is a massive staircase with several flights of stairs and no lift. If you manage to reach the floors they operate on you will also find the doorways are small and not wide enough for a wheelchair or standing mobility aids.
Disabled Access In and Around
Bad
Huge amount of steps. No lift. Signage could have been better.
Parking & Transport
Good
Street parking. I personally travelled by public transport using the train (Edinburgh Waverley) then walked around 10 minutes to the venue.
Staff
Excellent
