Find out more about Autism Awareness Month at lightitupblue.org

April is Autism Awareness month. On Tuesday 16th April Trafford Council will be raising awareness of autism in Trafford by holding an Autism Living Library event in Urmston Library. A Human Library works very much like a regular library. Members of the public can go in, browse a list or catalogue of Books and ask a member of staff to borrow their chosen title. The difference is that Books are people, and reading is a conversation!

This intriguing event, which aims to educate the general public about autism, starts at 3:30pm today (Tuesday, 16th April 2013) and ends at  18:30pm.  If you would like further information, contact organiser Jane Forrest on 0161 912 2807 or via email at jane.forrest@trafford.gov.uk.

Better Tuition is looking forward to hosting the next meeting of Trafford’s new support group for young people with Asperger’s syndrome or high-functioning autism on 24th April 2013.  You can find more details here.
