Prime Minister David Cameron personally supports Autism Sunday, launched in 2002 by British parents and carers Ivan and Charika Corea. The inspiration behind the autism campaign is their 15 year old son Charin who is on the autism spectrum.

David Cameron said:

I would like to express my support for Autism Sunday. As many as one in a hundred people could be affected by some form of autism, and it is important that we recognise and raise awareness of the difficulties and challenges that they can face.'
