AUTISM MOSQUE
WHAT IS AUTISM?
According to the National Autistic Society, autism is a lifelong development disability that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others. It is not an illness or disease, it is a spectrum condition. This means all autistic people share certain difficulties but being autistic will affect them in different ways and to different extremes. For example, autistic people may:
- Find it hard to communicate and interact with other people
- Find bright lights, loud noises, and certain smells and textures overwhelming, stressful or uncomfortable
- Get anxious or upset about unfamiliar situations and social events

WHAT IS AUTISM MOSQUE?
Autism Mosque is a project started by Sara Mangera and Nadeem Hussain back in January 2019. Having two children who are autistic they wanted Mosques to do more to welcome and accommodate autistic people and generally increase the awareness, understanding and acceptance of autistic people within the Muslim community. United Nations figures show that 15% of the population live with disabilities. Sara and Nadeem believed that as Muslims they needed to do more to be inclusive of their disabled brothers and sisters.
