Many people have heard about autism.

But they don’t always understand what it means to be an Autistic person.

Autistic people live their lives just like any other person.

They have interests and dreams just like anyone else.

But some Autistic people might feel stressed in places that are:

• loud
• busy
• bright.

If these spaces are inclusive of Autistic people, they can have more control about how they take part in the community.

For example:

• quiet spaces
• rooms with low light.

This can help Autistic people:

• be social in the community
• feel like they belong
• be healthy.

We will think about how public spaces can affect Autistic people.

And how we can make these spaces more inclusive.

We will find new ways to make transport accessible.

When transport is accessible, it is easy to:

• find and use
• move around.

This includes how we design:

• signs
• information about how to find a place.

We will work with groups in the community to do more to support Autistic people to take part in their activities.

These groups include:

• organisations

• sports clubs

• local councils

• services.
