Acceptance in schools

Acceptance in schools

School is too often a difficult and hostile place for autistic young people. Autistic children and young people are twice as likely to be excluded from school than their neurotypical peers. This World Autism Acceptance Month, autistic young people have shared their advice on the small changes that can make a big difference at school.
