This course will provide a basic introduction to autism with a view to raising awareness about autism as a lifelong 'condition'.
It is estimated that about 1.1% of the UK population are autistic. This session will explore what we mean by 'autism', how we can make society more inclusive for people with autism, and how we may embrace the positivity of neurodiversity. The session will include suggestions from individuals with autism wherever possible.
By the end of the course I should be able to:
- Understand what is meant by autism
- Understand what is meant by neurodiversity
- know several places to go for more support
- Understand three theories about autism
- Know where to go for more information about autism.
This FREE session is being offered in partnership with WEA.
