Monthly Focus - autism awareness and support
As April incorporates #autismawarenessweek2022, this bulletin focuses on autism awareness and support.
One to watch
Working with people with autism: the autistic perspective (11 minutes)
In this film, we see how Scott, a man with autism and learning disabilities, and Marie, a professor with Asperger’s Syndrome, learn to make sense of society, with the support of colleagues and family members. Scott’s parents speak of the rituals he employs to cope with daily life and the behaviours that are triggered when the world does not make sense to him.
Marie talks of the challenges she faces in learning the rules of professional communication and the techniques she uses to interact with others and manage her anxieties. She makes the point, however, that these anxieties come about because society does not yet understand people with autism, and disables them as a result.
