Administrative history
The York and District Autistic Society was founded in 1987 at the instigation of parents of autistic children in the York area. The Society raised awareness of autism, and brought together families and medical professionals to review provision in York.
The Society campaigned locally, and held a charity screening of Rain Man in York in 1989.
The Society was eventually subsumed into the National Autistic Society in 1992, becoming part of their northern region.
