What is Autism?
Autism is a unique way of being
Children with autism may see the world differently. That's not wrong, it's just special! Autism is a part of human diversity. Children with autism may have different ways of talking, playing and feeling. This is because their brains work in a unique way.
Special features
Every child with autism is unique. Some can be very good at remembering things or drawing beautifully. Others may feel loud noises more intensely. Some may like routines, while others may prefer change.
Behavior and communication
Children with autism can communicate in different ways. Some may have difficulty speaking, but may use gestures or technology. Some may repeat words or movements to express themselves.
How to help
It is important to support children with autism with patience and love. Offer routines and activities that help them feel comfortable. Remember that all children, including those with autism, can learn, play and be happy!
