Autism is a spectrum. This means everybody with autism is different.

Some autistic people need little or no support. Others may need help from a parent or carer every day.

Being autistic does not mean you have an illness or disease. It means your brain works in a different way from other people.

…and always remember :

Being autistic does not have to stop you having a good life..

Some autistic people have average or above average intelligence.

Some autistic people have a learning disability. This means they may find it hard to look after themselves and need help with daily life.
