What is autism?

We have launched a new film highlighting the difficulties a person with autism might encounter whilst using public transport, as part of our ongoing think differently about autism campaign. People with autism can encounter many difficulties on a daily basis in situations other people cope with quite easily. A frequent problem is the stress of travelling on public transport and the great anxiety caused by changes to schedules. People with autism often rely on routines and can find unexpected changes very difficult to deal with. However, when these things do occur a bit of understanding and support can make all the difference. This latest film is based on a true account, depicting one such scenario at a train station and shows how a seemingly harmless situation can quickly escalate. It includes extracts from interviews with people with autism explaining how they have reacted in similar situations. http://www.think-differently.org.uk/awareness/quiz.aspx
