💙 A new autism information leaflet created by young people, for the community

The Youth Voice Panel at Perth Autism Support, funded through The Gannochy Trust, has developed a short “What is Autism?” leaflet to help raise awareness, increase understanding and reduce stigma around autism in Perth & Kinross.

We’d encourage organisations, groups and community members to read and share the leaflet widely to help support greater understanding and inclusion.
