Autism is a life-long developmental condition affecting how individuals living with autism communicate, interact with others and how they interpret or experience the world around them.

People living with autism may:

  • not be able to communicate verbally
  • have need for structure and/or routine
  • display behaviour which may challenge
  • experience sensory difficulties which may result in meltdowns or shutdowns
  • display or engage in repetitive behaviour
  • passionately engage in special interests
