Help transform the lives of people with autism

There’s been a huge increase in awareness of autism over the past 20 years.
But not enough people understand the different perspectives, passions and skills autistic people can have and also what it’s like to be autistic, including how hard life can be if you don’t have the right support.
This is why World Autism Acceptance Week, which ends on Sunday is so important.
It’s a chance to get society talking about autism and finding out from autistic people what it’s like to be autistic.
Anyone can get involved by visiting autism.org.uk/waaw where we’ve got information and free resources like assembly plans for schools, quizzes and posters for the workplace.
Better understanding of autism across society and appropriate Government funding for support and services would transform hundreds of thousands of lives.
Everyone at the South London Press thanks you for your continued support.
Former Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has encouraged everyone in the country who can afford to do so to buy a newspaper, and told the Downing Street press briefing:
“A FREE COUNTRY NEEDS A FREE PRESS, AND THE NEWSPAPERS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE UNDER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PRESSURE”
If you can afford to do so, we would be so grateful if you can make a donation which will allow us to continue to bring stories to you, both in print and online.
