The Autism Aware Glasgow project is Glasgow's bid to be an autism friendly city. Glasgow City Council have been working in partnership with venues across the city to ensure our autistic residents, visitors and tourists can experience and enjoy Glasgow in a safe and relaxed manner. You can use the map to help plan your visit to the city centre and find out what each venue is doing to become more Autism Aware.
