Autism Awareness Training Reviews

This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars

Perfectly explained exactly how a person with Autism sees the world. Very good advice and knowledge given for anybody who has not experienced living with an child/adult with Autism.

I now understand ASD as a different way of experiencing the world..

This course explained that autism means that people who are autistic just think and behave differently to the way society expects them to (so they do not conform to the social "norms"). Shouldn't society just adapt and be more accepting? If the intention of the course was to make autistic people better understood, it failed as far as I am concerned. This course actually made it look like we should see autistic people as having something wrong with them, and therefore, perpetuates the stigma rather than overcomes it.

This course helps to gain an understanding or Autism and the misconceptions that surround it

Everything was presented in a clear, factual but approachable and friendly way, aimed at three simultaneous audiences, those who have autism, those who may have it or similar things and those who don't, which felt really refreshing compared to other autism education experiences which cast them as 'other'. Thank you for not spreading prevalent myths (like all autistic people have photographic memory) and for instead acknowledging everything fairly and appropriately. This was genuinely helpful to explaining some of my behaviour to myself, as I've never fully understood a lot of what I do and just dismissed it as 'weird'.
