Autism Awareness Presentation

This resource contains an editable, 120 slide presentation on autism and Autism Awareness Day (2nd April) and Autism Awareness Week. I had the privilege of teaching and working with many amazing young people on the autistic spectrum for twenty years. People with autism are often misunderstood. Hopefully, this presentation will help others, both staff and pupils, to be more informed about, and more understanding of, autism.

The presentation includes sections on:

What is autism?
Signs of autism
Social Communication Difficulties
Social Interaction Difficulties
Rigid Thought Processes
Sensory Issues
Repetitions and Rituals
Obsessions
Gifts and Talents
Famous people With Autism / Asperger’s

The presentation contains hyperlinks to:

A video which shows what it is like to experience sensory overload.
A short video on autism.
A short video about Schools’ Awareness Week by the National Autistic Society.
A video produced by a young person with autism who talks about five things he thinks it is important that people know about autism and five ways you can help him.
