People on the Isle of Man are being offered the opportunity to become more autism aware.

It follows calls for society to be more tolerant and accepting of children with the condition - after fears they are being wrongly labelled as 'naughty'.

She says she's willing to expand the support available to everyone to raise awareness - you can find out more from Sara by calling 477663 or via the Action4Autism Facebook page:
