In this section you can find out about the experience of having a grandchild on the autism spectrum, by listening to people share their personal stories on film. Our researchers travelled all around the UK to talk to 15 grandparents in their own homes. Find out what people said about issues such as early signs, diagnosis and rewards and challenges. We hope you find the information helpful and reassuring.
