World Autism Awareness Week

World Autism Awareness Week is back! There is no better time in the year to raise awareness about autism and make a difference to the lives of autistic people across the UK – so sign up and join in!

The National Autistic Society have free packs which are filled with amazing ideas to help raise awareness and funds during “World Autism Awareness Week”.

World Autism Awareness Day is fast approaching and the National Autistic Society have been hard at work to get the UK to take notice like never before. Friday 1st April 2016 sees the launch of “Too Much Information”, their biggest ever campaign to improve autism understanding.

You can watch the trailer for a short film they’ve made to give viewers a chance to see the world through the eyes of someone autistic. This film launches on Friday, but we wanted you to see a sneak peek.

NAS need this film to go viral so that as many people as possible understand what it’s like to be autistic.

You can help by signing up to their ‘thunderclap’ today. Everyone who joins the thunderclap will automatically share their  film on Facebook or Twitter at the exact same time. If lots of people do it, the film will be hard to ignore.
