Amcangyfrifir y bydd gan un ym mhob cant o bobl awtistiaeth, sy’n gallu effeithio ar eu bywydau mewn llawer o ffyrdd gwahanol. Mae’r cod newydd wedi’i ddatblygu ar y cyd â phobl awtistig eu hunain a’u rhieni a’u gofalwyr, yn ogystal ag â chyrff y trydydd sector, ymarferwyr a gwasanaethau sy’n darparu cymorth. Mae rhagor o wybodaeth am awtistiaeth i’w gweld ar wefan yTîm Awtistiaeth Cenedlaethol.
