How to Understand and Support People with Autism - LNL 180

Autism is a spectrum disorder that affects how people communicate, interact, and perceive the world. There are different types of autism, each with its own strengths and challenges. In this episode, we will explore the five main types of autism: Asperger’s syndrome, classic autism, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), Rett syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder (CDD). We will also discuss some of the common myths and misconceptions about autism, and how to be more aware and inclusive of people with autism in our daily lives.

We will also share some tips and advice on how to support a friend or loved one with autism, such as being patient, respectful, and understanding. We will also talk about how to create a more welcoming and accessible workplace for people with autism, such as providing clear instructions, feedback, and accommodations. Finally, we will recommend some of the top autism organizations and web resources that offer information, education, advocacy, and support for people with autism and their families.
