Over 99% of people have heard of autism, but only 16% of autistic people feel the public understand them. We’re here to challenge the myths, misconceptions and stereotypes that mean that 79% of autistic people feel socially isolated. It’s time we help the public to understand autism, the person, and the change they can make.
