Condition guide

Autism Spectrum Disorder

A different way of experiencing the world, not a broken version of it.

What is it, really?

Autism is a condition present from early brain development that affects how a person perceives, processes and interacts with the world. Every autistic person is different. What they share is a different neurological profile, one that can bring real strengths alongside real challenges.

What you can do right now

  • Learn to recognise sensory triggers and help reduce them
  • Use visual schedules and predictable routines
  • Give clear, literal instructions, and avoid sarcasm or implied meaning
  • Allow extra time for processing before expecting a response
  • Find out what the person enjoys and build connection through that
