April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day, but we’ll continue celebrating autism awareness and acceptance across the entire month.
Yes, we are dedicating the month of April to improving acceptance for autistic people, while fundraising and highlighting the vital work we do at Autism Together.
We would love you to get involved, in any way you can.
Autism is a hidden disability. You can’t tell someone is autistic by the way they look, but possibly through their behaviours. Autistic people are often misunderstood and may require support with things like communication, interaction with others, using their imagination, being flexible and feeling overwhelmed by activity in the world around them.
No two autistic people are affected the same way, so, at Autism Together we work with each individual to help them overcome or lessen the impact of these difficulties, to help that person lead an interesting and fulfilling life.
This immersive video, filmed from a first-person perspective, is aimed at giving the viewer an idea of what it might be like for an autistic person to experience the sort of noisy, busy, everyday environments that we take for granted…
The answer is…all of them.
