New to autism? Start with everyday experience

Understand differences, then look at your own needs.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference. Communication, sensory experiences and daily life can be affected. Experiences and support needs vary.

As you read, note situations that feel relevant. Recognising a familiar experience does not establish a diagnosis.

Questions to reflect on
