Cathedrals, Churches and religious organisations in Britain are marking Autism Sunday to remember over 500,000 people with autism in the UK and over 60 million people with autism around the world.

Autism Sunday was founded in 2002 by British parents and carers, Ivan and Charika Corea. It is now the first major disability event in the calendar around the world. Parents, carers and people with autism and Asperger's Syndrome are lobbying and campaigning on the key issues of education, health, specialist speech therapy and respite care, to mark Autism Sunday.
