Improvements are planned to ensure that autistic people in the county get the support they need to lead fulfilling and rewarding lives.
The Lincolnshire Autism Partnership Board is asking autistic people, their families and carers for their views on how to ensure the county is a place that respects all autistic people and offers them the right support at the right time.
The feedback will be used to shape Lincolnshire's new five-year All Age Autism Strategy and action plan, ensuring it addresses the concerns that are most important to autistic people and their families.
Councillor Mrs Wendy Bowkett, Executive Councillor for Adult Care, said: "Although we've made progress over the last few years, we know there is still more that can be done to improve services for autistic children, young people and adults, and their families and carers.
"We want to hear about your experiences and ideas, so we can better understand what's important to autistic people of all ages, their families and carers, so we can work with local support groups, agencies and organisations to develop better support.
"So please sign up for one of our upcoming workshops or complete our online survey to make sure your views are known, and help us make Lincolnshire a great place to live for autistic people."
Jo Minchin, newly-appointed Co-Chair of Lincolnshire Autism Partnership Board, added: "We want these workshops to be the start of an ongoing conversation with you about what we need to do to make life better for autistic people and their families in Lincolnshire."
