Attitudes towards Autism

Many people appear to have inaccurate or misconceived ideas about autism.

For example, many people believe that

- all people on the autism spectrum are the same

-  they don't value friendships

- they are less deserving than other people

- they are just 'making it up'.

This can lead to significant problems including isolation, exclusion and bullying as well as poor services.
