Autism Acceptance Month 2026

April is Autism Acceptance month. 

At least one in every 100 people in the UK are autistic. This could be your child, or your child’s friend or classmate.  As a parent or carer, there’s a lot you can do to understand autism and help your child show up for their autistic classmates and friends. 

There is a useful video you can watch with your child, describing how children feel, in their own words

And a leaflet, with useful information too.  Please take a look.
