The Lord Mayor of Dublin and Dublin City Council have committed to partner with AsIAm, Ireland’s Autism Charity, to work towards recognition as the world’s first Autism-Friendly Capital City.

This journey will involve the recruitment of “Autism-Friendly Champion” businesses, public services and voluntary organisations to improve accessibility in the city, a series of public consultations and also the creation of a 3 year plan for how Dublin can remove barriers for Autistic people having the same chance to live, work and play in our city. This plan will be drafted through direct engagement with Autistic people, family members and the wider community.
