Kandeh, Kandeh, Martin and Krupa (2018)

This report shares insights from a 2018 symposium on how autism is understood and accepted in Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) communities in the UK. It found that cultural, ethnic, and religious factors greatly shape views on autism, but these are often overlooked by professionals. Participants stressed the need for better collaboration, increased autism awareness within communities, and more culturally sensitive support and education for both professionals and families. An action plan was developed to address these gaps.
