Each year, during the week leading up to World Autism Awareness Day, (Monday 2nd April), The National Autistic Society encourage the public to take part in World Autism Awareness Week – a full seven days where, schools, workplaces, individuals, their families and friends all over the UK are taking part in activities to raise money and awareness for The National Autistic Society.

The National Autistic Society have come a long way in raising autism awareness but there is still more to be done until everyone understands autism.

“We need the public’s support to raise vital funds to continue running campaigns like Too Much Information, training and sharing knowledge with professionals working with autistic people and so much more.” – The National Autistic Society
