Raising knowledge and understanding of autism is vital for breaking down misconceptions and to ensure that autistic people are treated fairly. This is important on both an individual and corporate level. We work with other service providers and employers to provide them with the information and tools that will enable them to make simple adjustments to accommodate difference for the people they support or employ.
