It's Election Day!
A lot of autistic people can find voting hard. It can bring up feelings of anxiety, pressure, confusion and overwhelm.
I have put together some tips and resources for autistic people, this election day. #GeneralElection24

9 in 10 autistic people have sensory differences, but the public spaces we use every day are not built with neurodivergent people's needs in mind.
Released today, the Autistica #InclusiveSpaces Plan sets out how we'll make public spaces more inclusive. autistica.org.uk/news/inclus…
