“When I first got this diagnosis, I didn’t relate to it... Then, when I started to accept my identity, I was met with ableism and people being really discriminatory and horrible... That made me question myself all over again.”
- Hannah, autistic adult and National Autistic Society Young Ambassador
The cultural perception and lack of understanding of autism leads to many autistic people experiencing discrimination.
