Why this petition matters

Started by Shannon Marsden

As an autistic person I understand the stress and challenges living with spd(sensory processing disorder) causes .

For as long as I can remember supermarkets ,shopping centres and restaurants have caused me to feel distressed with their lack of accessibility for me, as an autistic person like many others stores can trigger my spd. This  can be debilitating and many autistics like myself rarely visit supermarkets, and shopping centres.  Forced to shop online due to only being able to visit certain supermarkets during their so called autism hour. 

Not only is this deeply unfair ,its just not practical for independent autistics, living alone and caring for their family we need to be able to shop without distress.  

Im calling on the government and Boris  to demand better  , support autistic people  include them and create a fairer experience .

If the shops can accommodate other disabled people they can accommodate disabled people too .

 

Sign and share this petition help create a society that includes us one step at a time.
