Acceptance in everyday life

Acceptance in everyday life

Autistic people experience the world differently to neurotypical people – but sometimes these differences mean the world doesn’t accept them for who they are. Autistic young people sometimes experience loneliness or bullying because they are different.  

This World Autism Acceptance Month, autistic young people have shared their advice on how to help them feel accepted when out and about in the community.
