Gerry Howard Skydiving for National Autistic Society

On Saturday 5th August, I will skydive for Charity! With your help I hope to raise money for the National Autistic Society.

Around 700,000 people in the UK are on the autism spectrum. Together with their families, this means autism is a part of daily life for 2.8 million people. Autism is a lifelong, developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them. Autistic people see, hear and feel the world differently to other people. If you are autistic, you are autistic for life; autism is not an illness or disease and cannot be 'cured'. Often people feel being autistic is a fundamental aspect of their identity.

This is part of my family's daily life and, if nothing else, I hope to raise awareness.

Give a little it will help a lot!
