Do you want to encourage local businesses and your community to be more autism-friendly?
There are more than 700,000 autistic people in the UK which means at least one in 100 people are autistic. The National Autistic Society has launched its new Autism Friendly guides which offer practical advice and suggestions to businesses which show how premises and visitor attractions could become more autism friendly. The guides are free to download.
If you are, or you know a business that would be interested in or could benefit from this free resource please visit or direct them to our website for further information.

Autism Central is a peer education programme, commissioned by NHS England. It aims to build knowledge and understanding of autism and empower families and carers to advocate for autistic people they support to get the right understanding and adjustments in place across the services they use.
