Autism – what do you know?

Valuing the learner’s voice “I have Asperger's Syndrome, a 'milder' form of Autism, (yeah right!). That means that I have difficulties with social interaction, communication and imagination. Of course you could say that that is a matter of opinion because after all, interaction and communication are a two way thing - maybe I have it right and others have the difficulties!!” (Luke Jackson, aged 14)

What might it mean in your lesson?

Literacy and language difficulties Some learners on the autistic spectrum may have particular difficulties with: Speaking and listening – following ‘conversational maxims’, using/recognising paralinguistic features, prosodic features, functions of speech, adopting different registers. Reading - understanding any ‘non-literal text’, inference, de-coding unfamiliar words, idioms or figurative language, unfamiliar typeface, using semantic reading cue. Writing - about other people, re-presenting information, understanding text genre, phonically irregular spelling, handwriting.
