Autism-friendly guides and resources
There are more than 700,000 autistic people in the UK but many struggle to find services and businesses that understand their needs.
There are many things you can do to help remove the barriers autistic people face, our guides are designed to help you make your business or service more autism-friendly.
We have created a range of resources filled with lots of helpful hints and tips to consider that will support autistic people to have a more positive experience. These resources are primarily aimed at businesses and services with a physical venue such as shops, museums, cafes and hotels but even if this is not the case, there will still be lots of information relevant to you.
Kusuma TrustWe would like to thank the Kusuma Trust for funding the creation and publication of our autism-friendly guides, making this fantastic work possible. For more information about the Kusuma Trust and their impact in the UK, Asia and Gibraltar, please visit their website. |
