Increasing Autism Awareness?

AutisticBeaut2025

What would you say would be the best way to increase Autism Awareness? 
It seems to me that unless you have been diagnosed yourself or know someone with the condition then that is how you become educated about ASD otherwise you aren’t going to be aware or know much about it, so how could it be increased? Any ideas? 
I personally think that if a famous person who is very highly well known comes out as autistic then it may get the ball rolling and people might ask themselves if they are too on the spectrum? 
What do you all think?xx

  • I think pople are aware of it, they just don't know what it means. A lot of people can't get their heads around a spectrum, where there are lots of symptoms, but nobody has all of them.

    I think there have been famous people who have said they have it, but people don't take it seriously because they're successful, hte idea that you could act, or speak to camera, or be really good at sports, even to an international level and maybe even especially to an international level, means that it's not that serious and everybody else is making a fuss
