Autism Awareness
Overview
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals communicate, interact, and perceive the world around them.
Children, young people, and adults with autism experience the condition in highly individualised ways — which is why it's described as a “spectrum.”
This course provides essential awareness for those supporting autistic individuals across educational, care, and workplace settings.
