What is Autism?
The NHS website says that
“Autistic people may:
- find it hard to communicate and interact with other people
- find it hard to understand how other people think or feel
- find things like bright lights or loud noises overwhelming, stressful or uncomfortable
- get anxious or upset about unfamiliar situations and social events
- take longer to understand information
- do or think the same things over and over”
Autism is a neurodiversity – a different way of thinking and viewing the world.
There can be a lot of benefits to having Autism!
