THE National Autistic Society is running the Autism Professional Awards this year.
We are looking for people and organisations in your area that make a difference to the lives of autistic people and their families.
We are looking for your stories so that we can increase public understanding of autism.
Do you know a teaching assistant that has helped an autistic child to achieve something amazing?
Or perhaps you know of a business that has made adjustments for autistic employers?
