What are 'I Wills'?

'I wills' are about thinking about how you could make a small change to make a big difference for

the individual. Think about:.

  • How to raise awareness or make a change to your environment.
  • The things that an autistic person may find difficult or stressful.
  • Triggers and how to relieve stressful situations as they occur (as they will in all environments!)


Remember: The smallest of actions can make the biggest difference and you will probably find that others benefit from these actions too!!
