Aspect estimate that up to 675,000 Australians – roughly 1 in 40 of us – are on the autism spectrum, with many of those people living with "profound or severe" disabilities, limitations, restrictions and/or impairments which restrict everyday functioning.
#WAUD2025
Recent research has suggested that approximately one-third (33%) of people feel that they do not know how to respond if someone told them they are autistic, and two-fifths (41%) feel that they do not know how to support people on the autism spectrum.
