Autism Awareness Day

A message from Louise... :)

Hi all, 

I hope you are all well, and have had sometime to learn something new and interesting. This week is World Autism Awareness week. With today being World Autism Awareness day. I have posted a couple of videos on twitter. Watch this short video which explains why we celebrate this special day and how it links to the rights of the child.

Also read some stories from the spectrum, which are written by people with Autism and explain how it impacts on their lives. My favourite one is by Sarah Hope, a Para-Olympian, she plays wheel chair basket ball for team GB and has Autism.

If you have any thoughts or questions I would love to hear them on the Purple Mash blog. 

I hope to see you all soon, 
Louise
