Autism Awareness Through Sport
https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/1708574430-250d50db23b2fc08f930b1a690508c2c13c42409d911033a39c956f13bb5cd64-d

Welcome

 Autism Awareness Through Sport has been started thanks to our founder Mark’s stepson, who has severe autism and is on the high end of the spectrum. It was watching some of the challenges he faces everyday, along with the general lack of awareness or understanding for those with autism the idea was formed with his love of sport

Play, Support, Inspire

What Is Autism

 The definition of autism has changed over the decades and could change in future years as we understand more. Some people feel the spectrum is too broad, arguing an autistic person with 24/7 support needs cannot be compared with a person who finds supermarket lights too bright. We often find that autistic people and their families with different support needs share many of the same challenges, whether that’s getting enough support from mental health, education and social care services or being misunderstood by people close to them. We will continue to fight to make society work for autistic people
