World Autism Awareness Week

This week (30 March – 5 April) is World Autism Awareness Week – seven days where people across the UK take part in activities to raise money and awareness for the National Autistic Society. There are lots of ways to spread awareness, and get advice and support from the charity- especially during this difficult time.

The National Autistic Society are the UK’s largest provider of specialist autism services to the lives of 100,000 autistic people every year During this unsettling time, it’s more important than ever that we recognise the work that charities such as the National Autistic Society are providing to people across the country.
