Autism Awareness

Make Public Places such as Train stations and employers be more aware of those with Autism and to understand the needs that people with Autism may have.

Why is this important?

I have High Functioning Autism and this is a recognised as a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 and the Equality Act 2010. However many employers fail to recognise this as well as a lot of retail outlets and public places. People with Autism get anxious in unfamiliar situations and can become very agitated as well, just like myself. They also have no sense of danger and this is very common in children. People with Autism also have difficulty with social and communication skills. This campaign is to make people more aware of the needs of people with Autism and to campaign for more help for disabled people. Autism is a disability but it is an invisible one. Just because it can't be seen doesn't mean that it is not there.

I have wrote a letter to my local MP to ask to see whether she is willing to help support this campaign and help get it off of the ground
