The Welsh Rugby Union are proud to host a community talk event with The Autism Directory as part of our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and to help increase the understanding autism in the Welsh rugby community.

The event will be an opportunity for everyone to learn more about autism and the autism community in Wales as well as reach out to those within the autism community who may not know where to access help, advice and support.

The talk includes information about the charity, more about who The Autism Directory services help. 75% of The Autism Directory staff are autistic and some are involved in the community talks. There will be a personal testimony from one of The Autism Directory staff team about their life from growing up, through to education and employment and how they felt and managed when they got their diagnosis.

The Autism Directory talks provide a unique insight into the lives of those within the autism community.

The Autism Directory and the WRU agree that the best way for people to learn about autism is to hear from those who have the personal lived experience.

The event will be hosted on Zoom and all details on how to attend the event will be provided once registration has been confirmed.
