Today marks the start of World Autism Acceptance Week.
Sadly, autistic people still face discrimination and barriers across all sectors of society.
Only 26% of autistic pupils feel happy at school, only 29% of autistic people are in any form of employment, 70% of autistic people experience mental health problems and there are over 150,000 people on the waiting list for an autism assessment in the UK.
