Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people.  It is estimated that in Telford and Wrekin, 1760 people have autism.

​

There is no cure for autism but early diagnosis and specialist support has been shown to greatly improve the quality of life of people with autism.

​

People with autism often have issues with sensory processing. They can either be over or under sensitive to any senses (sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste, balance and self-awareness).
