Autism Awareness Training Reviews

One of the questions asked in the final test asks "is Autism on the rise in the UK". I answered false (incorrect according to the test) but I believe false is the correct answer, diagnosis of autism is on the rise not Autism in itself. The amount of people in the population with Autism statistically remains the same (per capita), whist better diagnosis increases this number. Perhaps the question is poorly worded.

There is a general move away from the description of an autistic "spectrum" towards a "constellation" instead within the autistic community and educators working with young people. This makes it clearer that there's not a sliding scale of severity, but a combination of a huge variety of different traits. A little more focus on the potential positive aspects earlier on in course would be great. We need to see autism less as a challenge to be overcome and more as simply a difference in the way we think. This is neither positive nor negative on a general scale, but simply different.
