In this video, five people tell their own accounts of what it is like living as an autistic person.
We hear views on how autism affects their everyday life and how society can better support and understand autistic people.
Being autistic does not have to stop you having a good life.
Like everyone, autistic people have things they're good at as well as things they struggle with.
Autism is a spectrum. This means everybody with autism is different. This video shows how different autistic people are when on different parts of the spectrum.
