Autism and Discrimination
Dr Chetna Kang and Sophie Sulehria focus on autism and discrimination.
A groundbreaking study that could help people stigmatised by autism, is close to reality.
Researchers at the University of Bedfordshire are bidding for 355 thousand pounds to investigate discrimination against people with autism and their carers.
This week we speak to people affected by autism to understand how and why they're stigmatised and find out what's being done about it.
