Every day we will be looking at how people with autism navigate everyday situations from their own unique perspective.
With an aim to raise awareness of autism as well as letting people across the North-east know about the amazing work NEAS does in this area, the campaign will discuss how autism impacts, sleep, diet, forming relationships, the senses, communication, emotional wellbeing and how information is processed.
Told through the voices of experts, carers, families and people with autism themselves the campaign will both inform and inspire. We want autism to be talked about, to be understood and to be embraced in our communities.
To do this with integrity, we’ve chosen to include true accounts from parents and children affected by autism. Terminology, feelings and phrasing is chosen by the people who live with autism every day. It’s their voice.
