The National Autistic Society celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. And the organisation is currently holding virtual events and fundraising activities for World Autism Awareness Week, taking place from March 28 to April 3, 2022.
Ambassador Christine McGuinness is offering a "Super 60" Challenge with fundraising ideas to help inspire participants in the society's 60th anniversary year. The week will conclude with Spectrum Night Walks that are planned to take place in London and Manchester on April 2.
The week is designed not just to raise awareness but to promote increased acceptance and understanding of autism. With that in mind, the society's website tells us, "autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world.
