About this event

The coronavirus pandemic has been particularly tough for many autistic people and their families. Services have closed and many people have been left stranded. The ever-changing guidelines and restrictions can be confusing to understand and extremely difficult to implement for autistic people with high support needs.

Thanks to the National Autistic Society’s supporters, they’ve been able to campaign to ensure autistic people’s needs are taken into account by governments across the UK in these challenging times. Autistic people have been included in mask exemptions and have been given more opportunities to exercise. They’ve developed online resources for autistic people and increased the number of online social groups they run. There is still so much to do and they desperately need your help to continue this vital work.
