What does genuine inclusion look like in education?
Not the same content delivered with a few more pictures or a quiet corner in a classroom. It looks like an environment built around the neurodivergent experience, shared experience, a curriculum including self-understanding, & wellbeing at the heart of everything. #AutismAcceptanceWeek
#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.

Hayley was highly amused when she discovered Plonkers Wine Bar on her latest excursion to #York with Sophie. Your sense of humour never fails to give us a laugh, Hayley - love it! 🤣

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.

A black autistic woman is attending a group video call, on her rose gold laptop, when she learns the term masking.
Upon hearing the details of masking, she thought to herself “what a minute”.
Shocked expression with the Metal Gear Solid exclamation mark.
The black woman exclaimed to herself, during a break, “That’s what I’ve been doing?!” while flailing her arms in frustration.
And… that’s how I learned the term masking.

“No two people with autism are the same but common areas of difficulty can be not understanding body language or facial expressions.”
Here’s how you can help, writes Louise Brown.
