#WorldAutismAcceptanceWeek

News - 27 March 2023

All this week (March 27th-April 2nd) we're supporting World Autism Acceptance Week - a week that aims to help more people understand what autism is and how it can affect life for Autistic people.

This week is an annual celebration of autistic people to raise awareness of developmental disorders and neurodivergence. 

In previous years, the week has been known as World Autism Awareness Week and World Autism Awareness Day. In 2021 a change was made to World Autism Acceptance Week to align with the goal of communities being inclusive of autistic people.

To find out how you can get involved in #WorldAutismAcceptanceWeek please visit the National Autistic Society website.
