World Autism Acceptance Month is an opportunity to raise awareness, acceptance and create a society where autistic people are supported and understood.
Autism is a complex, lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects individuals' communication, social interaction and behaviour in diverse ways.
People living with autism fall under the Neurodivergent umbrella because their brains develop and process information differently, show a spectrum of symptoms ranging from mild to severe, each with unique characteristics, presentation and potential to function.
Whether at home, school, or work, how you show up when supporting an autistic colleague, classmate, or family member can help create a more inclusive and accepting world.
