About the course
With one in 100 people on the autism spectrum and around 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK, it is important that as many of us as possible become aware of what autism is and the varying ways the condition affects people's lives.
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how people communicate and interact with the world. It is a spectrum condition, that means people have varying and complex needs and we need to be aware not only of the condition itself but also of its nature; that it’s different for everyone and that there will always be something to learn.
This Autism Awareness training course aims to set you off on your path to better understanding and awareness of the complexities of the condition. It is aimed at carers who are involved with people who have autism but doesn’t require any prior knowledge and suitable for anyone with an interest. Learners will gain a better understanding of what autism is and the effect it has on an individual.
