What do you know about autism?
- Autism is a hidden disability - you can't always tell if someone has it.
- Autism doesn't just affect children. Children with autism grow up to be adults with autism.
- While autism is not curable, the right support at the right time can make an enormous difference to people's lives.
- Only 15% of adults with autism in the UK are in full-time paid employment.
- At least one in three adults with autism are experiencing severe mental health difficulties due to a lack of support.
