Identify and share evidence-informed approaches

What we have done and continue to do:
- Funded and guided two waves of the ‘Change Your Reactions’ multimedia campaign. This campaign builds helpful attitudes and behaviours towards autistic people and their families. We will deliver more waves of this campaign in 2023 and 2024. Messaging will focus on areas where autistic people particularly miss out, such as work.
