Autism Acceptance Week

World Autism Acceptance Week

2022 is the 60th anniversary year of the National Autistic Society, the UK's leading charity for those on the autism spectrum and their families.

Since 1962, they have been providing support, guidance and advice, as well as campaigning for improved rights, services and opportunities to help create a more inclusive society.

Autism is different for everyone
