#AutismAcceptanceWeek is coming to an end, but we continue our work towards a society where everyone has the same rights and opportunities.
We close with words from Andy, from Bild for the Future, who reminds us that the lives of autistic people with learning disabilities are not hypotheticals.
Did you know that many of the speakers and chairs at the International Positive Behaviour Support Conference 2026, Advancing PBS: From expert-driven to experience-led, will also be delivering workshops?

We're back for another day of #AutismAcceptanceWeek!
Being comfortable in yourself is one of the most important things for anyone, but it can be difficult for autistic people to feel safe expressing themselves. We hope you're proud to be yourself today!
We hope you're enjoying #AutismAcceptanceWeek!
The differences in how autistic people see the world are often viewed as problems to be solved, but what if we embraced diverse ways of seeing the world?
Tony told us that he's proud to have a different way of experiencing things.
It's Day 2 of Autism Acceptance Week!
Autism is often viewed as a difficulty that people have to overcome, but Andy from Bild for the Future explained that he views autism as a great strength.
