About the event
Many Christians with autism do not feel included or their needs understood in our local congregations. Yet often with sensible adjustments to our buildings, our organisations, our worship and our congregational routines our churches can become places where those on the autism spectrum can feel understood, comfortable and welcome.
There will be presentations by those with experience of autism with low support needs and of autism with high support needs followed by a Q&A session.
Those on the autism spectrum, family members, friends, children’s and youth ministry volunteers, organisation leaders, church office holders and ministers are invited to attend.
The event is free. Registration beforehand is not essential, but it would be helpful for catering purposes if you were able to let us know in advance that you plan to attend.
