We realise that Adrian’s experience of wearing a face covering doesn’t reflect everyone’s in the autistic community. Lots of people find wearing a face covering find it very difficult or impossible, yet have been challenged or have faced abuse for not wearing one. This has reached a point where some people in the autistic community are not going out at all.

The views expressed and experiences described by people featuring in our stories are their own, and are not endorsed by us. They may not always reflect current NHS or government guidance.
