We will now watch a video

that will show you what it might

be like to have autism

Sep 19­11:56 AM

Questions for discussion:

What are some things you noticed in the 

video?

How did it make you feel?

What do you think it would be like to feel like this, often?

Sep 19­8:17 PM

What is autism?  

Our brain is collecting information about the world around us all of the time.

• It gets that information from our senses – what we can see, hear, touch, taste and smell. 

• The brain works out what all this means and then we react to all that information.

• The messages are constantly changing as we move around or things change around us.

Sep 19­8:24 PM

What is autism?Children with autism get all of that information, but they are not able to make sense of it all.

• Their ears hear normally, but their brain cannot understand what others are saying. Sometimes, sounds that we like are far too loud to them. 

• Their eyes see normally, but some things seem to hurt their eyes, and some things seem to be very interesting.

• Sometimes they are so interested in looking at something that they do not notice what else is going on around them.

• It is hard for that person to learn to communicate and to understand what is happening in the world around him.

Sep 19­8:26 PM

What does autism look like?

• If someone is smiling, we think they are happy or they want to be friendly with us. 

• Our brain has made a connection between smiling, happiness and friendliness. 

> Someone with autism does not make that connection.

• We are all used to the everyday noises that surround us – music, traffic, kids in a classroom, etc. 

• Someone with autism may feel really upset by noise and will try to shut it out of her or his ears. 

Sep 19­8:27 PM

What does autism look like?

• We communicate with each other by talking, listening and watching.  

• Someone with autism will have trouble learning to speak, or understanding what people mean 

when they are talking.

• We like to be part of a group and hang out with friends.  

• Someone with autism may not like to be around people, even close family and friends.

Sep 19­8:28 PM

What does autism look like?

• We all need to learn how to act around other people.

> Someone with autism may act in unusual ways, like flapping her arms, waving her fingers, saying something over and over again, and wanting to do the same thing all the time.

• We know that things change and we adapt to changes. 

> Someone with autism will get very upset when things change, such as when something has been moved in her room.

Sep 19­8:29 PM

What does autism look like?• All of us are different and unique.

> People with autism are also unique and different. Some may have a lot of trouble coping with life, while others may only have a few problems.

• Most of us go to school to be educated and to learn all kinds of different skills.

> Someone with autism may be more comfortable learning in her own home or in a special class at school, or may be quite happy to be in a regular classroom.

Sep 19­8:35 PM

• We are able to learn about a lot of different things.

> Someone with autism may not be able to learn much about a lot of things, but she could know an enormous amount about one or two things.

What does autism look like?
