Pioneered by the National Autistic Society (NAS), World Autism Acceptance Week aims to draw attention to the 700,000 people living with autism in the UK both to educate those unaware of the condition, and to help make the world friendlier to those who are affected by it.

Embracing and promoting work or school-based initiatives, as well as virtual events including the chance to run, swim, cycle or walk 7km during the week to raise money for the 700,000 the NAS is looking for people to step up to the challenge and help them highlight this issue across the UK!
