The campaign gets underway next week. It has been inspired by the charity’s research, which found that many normal people had serious misconceptions about the condition.
A report – ‘Think Differently – Act Positively’ will be unveiled on Monday, kicking off the campaign in the national press.
The charity is also setting up a microsite for people living with autism to upload their own behind-the-scenes videos to help the public understand the reality behind the label.
The charity’s comms director Benet Middleton said: ‘We’re calling on the public, professionals and government to act positively to ensure people with autism have the same rights and freedoms as the rest of society.’
