Today is World Autism Awareness Day. It is also Da Today is World Autism Awareness Day. It is also Day Two of World Autism Acceptance Month.

World Autism Acceptance Month is about understanding and changing attitudes about autism spectrum conditions. When you've seen one person with autism, you've only seen one person with autism.

According to the National Autistic Society's recent survey, "there is a significant gap in understanding of autism and the ways in which people can support autistic people and their families at work, at school and in public places."

The autism charity's latest campaign, It's How You Show Up, is about educating people on simple changes they can make. Even the slightest of changes and adjustments can make a big difference, as seen in this link: 
https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/acceptance-and-awareness/how-you-show-up

Future Directions CIC supports over 300 people across the North of England, some of which have autism spectrum conditions, as do some of our 1,000 employees. This includes the author of your post. We are proud to support World Autism Acceptance Month and World Autism Awareness Day, and believe that greater understanding means happier, more fulfilled lives.
