World Autism Acceptance Week 2023

Posted by Devon Partnership Trust in News on 27th March, 2023

This week is World Autism Acceptance Week, to raise awareness of the 700,000 autistic people in the UK, to educate those unaware of the condition, and to help make the world friendlier to those who are affected by it.

The theme this year, set by The National Autistic Society is 'colour' and the charity is asking people to take part in the virtual Spectrum Colour Challenge.

Our DAANA service provides initial diagnosis and assessment for adults in Devon who have not previously been diagnosed and whose symptoms are consistent with an Autism Spectrum Condition or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Aaron Senior and David Gill who are Autistic Lived Experience Advisors in the National Learning Disability and Autism Team, share what it means to them to work at NHS England in this short video.

Recently on BBC Two, Chris Packham has presented Inside Our Autistic Minds, where he and others share what’s it's like to have autism. Watch here.

Our Neurodivergent Staff Network supports staff who identify as having autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or in any other way as neurodivergent, whether formally diagnosed or not.
