Children with autism from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities experience discrimination on two fronts - their disability and their ethnicity - isolating them from the education system that should provide opportunities for success. Some excellent practice exists but sadly this is still an exception. The neglect of BME families by researchers, professionals and service providers is unacceptable and must be addressed with urgency. The NAS make school make sense campaign demands the right school for every child, the right training for every teacher and the right approach in every school.
