Our organisation and our staff stand with - and as part of - communities up and down the country, putting the pieces of their neighbourhoods back together after shocking violence of recent days. As an organisation, the National Autistic Society is proud to have valuing diversity at the heart of what we stand for. Sadly, we know that many autistic people and their families will be scared by what they've seen and the upheaval their communities have experienced. Our thoughts and support are with them. If you are autistic and need more advice, we're here to help: bit.ly/3C72NPY. We stand proudly for a society that works for all autistic people, free from discrimination including racism, with compassion and respect for everyone.
