Understanding Autism
Our Understanding Autism booklet, created by Autistic Girls Network volunteer Heather Connolly-Smith, brings together key information from across our website to help people better understand autism.
It explains what autism is, how it can affect communication and sensory processing, and why recognising autistic strengths and removing barriers is so important.
Download the guide to learn practical ways to support and connect with autistic individuals — at home, in education, and in the community.
