Our research found that staff training, tolerance of noise and understanding from the public are the adjustments most important to people with autism and their carers.
We have developed the autism-friendly resources for museums to use to lead in a more inclusive community. There is also the opportunity for museums to take our bespoke autism inclusion workshop and receive a tailored accessibility report and autism friendly recognition award.
