Supporting BAME autistic people
A blog from Venessa Bobb, Branch Officer of the National Autistic Society, discusses the difficulties black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) autistic people and their families face when accessing support.
Research has shown that autistic people within the BAME community experience double discrimination, due to their ethnicity and disability.
She writes ‘Everyone has a part to play and it is not led by one single person or organisation but jointly, so the needs of the individual can be fully explored. ‘
