Tackling misconceptions around autism

The Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH) recently delivered a lesson aimed at tackling myths and misconceptions around autism. These are just as relevant for adults as they are for children and young people.

Some of us may work with autistic people through the services we offer, your colleagues, or you may be autistic, or know someone that is. That’s why we would encourage you to take 10 minutes out, to help discard any outdated notions and ultimately embrace a more progressive approach to autism. You can watch the video here.

The approach supports our Newham All-Age Autism Strategy, which is aimed at improving the lives of autistic people. You can read more about the strategy here.
