Acceptance and awareness

Our purpose at the National Autistic Society is to help create a society that works for autistic people. One of the ways we work towards this is through public events and campaigns to promote autism awareness and acceptance.

It's How You Show Up

Showing up for the autistic people in your life can be easier than you might think. We have launched a public awareness campaign to educate people on simple changes they can make.
