Changing Perceptions. Building Compassion. Celebrating Differences.
At Autism Family Support, we believe awareness is more than just information—it’s connection. Our Community Autism Awareness Campaigns are dedicated to opening hearts and minds across Oldham and beyond. By sharing stories, sparking conversations, and creating inclusive spaces, we aim to build a society where autistic individuals are not just understood—but celebrated.
Autism is not something to “fix”—it’s a different way of experiencing the world. And when people truly understand that, everything changes.
Too often, autistic people and their families feel isolated, judged, or misunderstood—simply because others don’t know what they don’t know. That’s where we come in.
We create opportunities to learn, connect, and feel empathy—because awareness is the first step toward acceptance. And acceptance opens the door to inclusion, dignity, and opportunity.
We host powerful, real-life conversations that go beyond the textbook. At these events:
Autistic individuals and families share their lived experiences
Local professionals offer guidance on creating inclusive environments
Schools, employers, and community members ask questions in a safe, open space
These sessions are honest, moving, and often life-changing—for both speakers and listeners. We aim to replace stigma with understanding and judgment with empathy.
We believe awareness should be felt—not just taught. That’s why we host a variety of autism-friendly community events where everyone is welcome, including:
🎨 Art workshops and exhibitions
🏃♀️ Inclusive sports and sensory play days
🧁 Cultural celebration events with autism-friendly adjustments
🎈 Pop-up information booths at local fairs, schools, and libraries
These events aren’t just for autistic families—they’re for everyone. They’re a chance for neighbours, classmates, and friends to connect in ways that break down barriers and build genuine relationships.
In today’s world, awareness spreads far and fast online. Our social media campaigns:
Share real stories from autistic individuals and their families
Highlight strengths, talents, and the beautiful diversity of the spectrum
Bust common myths and misconceptions about autism
Provide resources, facts, and everyday tips on how to be more inclusive
From short videos to infographics and blog posts, we ensure our digital voice is authentic, respectful, and hopeful.
Autism is part of the human experience.
Every person deserves to be seen, heard, and included—just as they are.
Our campaigns aren’t just events—they’re moments of change:
A teacher rethinks how they support a student
A neighbour learns to be more patient with a child who processes the world differently
A parent finally feels seen and less alone
Each story we share, each conversation we start, and each person we reach—brings us closer to a community that lifts each other up.
We invite you to be part of this journey—whether you’re:
A business wanting to make your workplace more autism-friendly
A school ready to host a talk or display inclusive posters
A parent or young person willing to share your story
Or just a curious community member ready to learn and support
Let’s work together to create a world where autism is embraced, not misunderstood.
