Autism, unfolding their universe

A gentle, respectful introduction to how autistic children experience the world.

Autism is a difference in how a person experiences the world, communicates, and relates to others. It is not an illness to be cured, and no two autistic people are the same. Understanding a particular child, what soothes them, what overwhelms them, and where they shine, does far more good than any general description. The notes below are a starting point for that understanding.

Every autistic person is different, and a sensory profile can even change from day to day. These are general, plain language introductions, not a diagnosis or clinical advice.
