About this event

This week, Monday, 28 March – Sunday, 3 April, 2022, is World Autism Acceptance Week. Autism is a lifelong difference in how people think, perceive the world and interact with others. It is usually thought to be neurological.

An autistic person may see, hear, feel and experience the world differently from non-autistic people. If you are autistic, you are autistic for life; autism is not an illness or disease so cannot be ‘cured’. Often people feel being autistic is a fundamental and positive aspect of their identity.
