We could melt seeing these photos from a recent HillTop visit to Twycross Zoo.
Not only because it's been way too hot this week - although that does factor in! - but because photos like these remind us why person-centred care matters.
Many autistic people feel misunderstood, ignored or their needs forced to fit in invisible boxes that they struggle to function in.
Every autistic adult and child deserves to find a space that accepts them for exactly who they are. That's why this matters.
We're glad they enjoyed their trip! 💖
