Autism

Autism is a lifelong difference that affects how a person communicates, interacts and experiences the world. Every autistic child is unique, with their own strengths and support needs.
Some autistic children:

• Find social interaction or building relationships more challenging
• Prefer routines or find change difficult
• Process language or communication differently
• Show focused interests or repetitive behaviours
• Experience anxiety, sensory differences or differences in attention

Speech and language therapists support communication, build confidence and work with families, schools and others to create positive environments where autistic children can thrive.
