Scottish Autism - Face Covering Exemption
Created: 03/08/2020
News/Events Category: General NewsThe Scottish Government has outlined exemptions for the wearing of face coverings in public. The exemption guidelines state that people are exempt from wearing face coverings if it causes them difficulty, pain or severe distress or anxiety to wear one.
There are various reasons why an autistic person might find face coverings distressing, such as:- The feeling it has on their skin
- A sudden change to their normal routine
- Not being able to see parts of their own or others’ faces
Please be respectful if you notice someone not wearing a face covering in public.
