fold faq What makes a business Autie-Friendly ?
We consider as ‘Autie-Friendly’ those businesses who: – Cater for special diets common to many people on the autistic spectrum and a source of current social limitation. – Have an establishment that welcomes people on the Autistic Spectrum and their families to enjoy their hospitality, goods or services. – Have goods, services or establishments that cater to the social, communication, sensory or information processing differences of people on the spectrum without demeaning these people by treating them as ‘conditions’ (ie we won’t be listing businesses primarily purporting ‘cures’ for autism). – Those who are equal opportunities employers who consider people on the Autistic Spectrum as employable within their own businesses in whatever way, large or small. – Those with a business or employable skill or service who identify strongly with the Autism Spectrum community and overtly demonstrate a respect for its members.
