Our #StateOfCaring report reveals the crisis carers are in. Released today, it’s based on our biggest ever survey of unpaid carers, who've told us they’re worried, tired and struggling financially, with little support available. That can’t go on. The government must act 🧵👇

We can't empathise this enough: Talk to someone you trust if you're struggling with how you feel.

Everyone communicates differently - and that's okay. There are many ways we can connect with each other - by adapting and being inclusive of communication differences, we can break down barriers and build relationships. 💛 #autism #autismacceptance #neurodiversity
