“In 22 years only one person has offered to help. Most stare and make comments.” It’s time to get involved so that we can help prevent experiences like these. Money raised from World Autism Awareness Week (27 March – 2 April) will go towards funding vital campaigns, like Too Much Information, which is helping the public to understand autism, the person and what to do. Together, we can turn autism awareness into autism understanding. Anything can be turned into a fundraising event, even a sponsor
