THE National Autistic Society is looking for local people and organisations making a difference to the lives of autistic people and their families. We want to share their stories so we can increase public understanding of autism and inspire others to improve their own practice.
Perhaps it’s a teaching assistant who has helped a child to achieve something great or a business that has made adjustments for autistic employees. If any readers know of an inspirational individual or organisation, please nominate them for the Autism Professionals Awards 2017.

We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
Please report any comments that break our rules.
