Autism related resources

Our external training team took over our Facebook page for a day and hosted a Q&A on being autistic. This covered changing the narrative around being autistic, Monotropism and focusing on one thing at a time, and reasonable adjustments. Click here to see the full discussion.

This framework describes what is required for supporting autistic people in a range of settings, from those who need a basic understanding of autism, to the skills, knowledge and behaviours required of those who are experts and lead services for autistic people.
