Autism Awareness week
At Southwold we celebrated Autism Awareness week by holding assemblies across school. The important messages we learnt were that:
You can’t see if someone is autistic, it is an invisible condition.
Autism means that someone’s brain works a little differently.
Each autistic person is different.
Autistic people have different strengths and may need more help at other things.
We learnt about the differences that people with autism might have; in their communication and behaviour, their thinking and understanding and their differences in senses.
We talked about how we could be better classmates. How can we be kind to one another? How can we support each other? How can we support our autistic classmates?
