Autism
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates and relates to people around them. People with autism can often have accompanying learning disabilities, but everyone with the condition shares a difficulty in making sense of the world. Reality to an autistic person is a confusing, interacting mass of events, people, places, sounds and sights. Asperger syndrome is a form of autism at the higher functioning end of the autistic spectrum.
The National Autistic Society runs courses, workshops and conferences, including:
* An introduction to autism and Asperger syndrome, a half-day course in London on 15 January.
