ABOUT AUTISM
Autism is a condition which affects the way in which a person interacts with other people and the world around them. People with autism generally have difficulties with social interaction, social communication and social imagination.
The autistic spectrum covers a range of conditions which impact on people in different ways from difficulties in areas such as communication and interpreting non verbal gestures to more severe and disabling challenges requiring specialist support.
People with Autistic Spectrum Conditions have a number of complex needs including learning disabilities.
