About this course
Autism is a term that describes an entire spectrum of developmental conditions that affect a person’s communication and perception of the world in a number of unique ways. Despite the fact that this condition has been researched widely across the world, what we know about it is constantly evolving, and the knowledge we have today differs significantly from what we thought we knew 20 years ago.
It’s important to note that autism is not an illness or a learning disability. You simply need to understand it as a different way of experiencing the world.
This course can help your staff gain a better understanding of autism and what adjustments can be made to the workplace to better accommodate those with autism.

Informative
The autism awareness course provides a valuable understanding of autism, addressing sensory sensitivities, communication differences, and the harm of stereotypes like "high-functioning." It fosters empathy by exploring challenges in environments like interviews and social settings. Greater emphasis on practical strategies for inclusivity and support would enhance the course, ensuring it better equips participants to understand and assist autistic individuals.

Not overly new information
Maybe because Im someone of the autistic scale but this particular module comes across as condensing with bare basic information states theres available suppport but doesnt actually list available support resources not just for england but all of the uk
a dishonest course
It is – dishonest for the course to claim that autism is not a disability, when much of the course emphasises the disadvantages that autism causes the autistic – thus detracting from the plausibility of the course. Which is more important when dealing with the autistic, political correctness, or honesty?
Very clear and succint
Clarified knowledge I already have.
